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

You explore vast, alien worlds with deliberate, physics-based platforming, uncovering ancient technology in a lonely, non-linear journey that demands patience and precision.

What players say

Players are split on Venineth: its alien world visuals and ambient soundscape are widely praised, but the marble's slippery, physics-based controls make platforming frustrating for many. The game is often described as a zen exploration title that becomes maddening as it demands more precise jumps.
