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.

A moody, dark fantasy metroidvania where you explore a corrupted dream world, fight nightmares, and gradually build strength in a punishing but rewarding journey.

What players say

Players see promise in this free Metroidvania but find it too buggy to recommend, with crashes, broken maps, and finicky jumps. Many compare it to Hollow Knight, though opinions split on whether that is a compliment or a sign of unoriginality.
