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 precise, deliberate platformer where every weighty jump demands patience and rhythm, with a quiet, atmospheric story told through environmental echoes.

What players say

Players describe Xenogen as a challenging, momentum-based precision platformer with a heavy character that commits to jumps, making it feel different from Sylph's earlier games. Reviews note checkpoints can be buggy with wrong gravity, and the game demands patience. Performance issues on low-end computers are also mentioned.
