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 surreal, puzzle-like platformer with punishing mechanics and a tense atmosphere as you race against time to defeat the Darkness.

What players say

Players are split on UNHERD. Many praise its challenging platforming and speedrun potential, but a persistent group finds the controls and camera frustrating, especially with keyboard and mouse. The game has a 9-hour time limit to complete all stages, which some see as a motivating feature.
