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 breathless, graceful sprint through an atmospheric wilderness, where every leap feels weightless and the valley's beauty hides a melancholy mystery.

What players say

Players praise Valley for its sense of speed and beautiful environments, with a soundtrack that elevates the experience. The story is simple and the puzzles are not hard, but the game is short and doesn't overstay its welcome. Some players wish for an unstuck button and note the lack of translation.
