The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 tense precision platformer where two characters navigate a dark, story-driven Abyss, relying on careful timing and mutual understanding to overcome obstacles.

What players say

Players compare The Rise to Celeste, calling it a shorter, harder take with dash-based wall jumping. They praise the level design and addictive challenge but report janky controls and input lag, especially on the dash, and wish the game were longer.
