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 challenging minimalist platformer where you methodically switch between three heroes to overcome tightly designed levels.

What players say

Players say Trio is a simple but hard 2D platformer where you control three characters with different abilities. Many note broken achievements, and some call it achievement spam. Reviews split on whether the game is fun or frustrating, with lasers adding a difficulty spike.
