The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A short, difficult cinematic platformer with dark hand-drawn visuals and a brooding soundtrack, evoking constant tension and dread.

What players say
Players describe this as a short, brutally difficult cinematic platformer with a great atmosphere and music, but nearly universal complaints about clunky, animation-locked controls that make precision frustrating. Reviews are split on whether the challenge is rewarding or ruined by technical issues like enemies vanishing mid-attack and a lack of checkpoints.
