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 fast-paced beat 'em up with cute pixel art and a dreamlike hospital setting.

What players say

Players describe YumeCore as a short, simple beat-em-up with charming pixel art and a catchy soundtrack. It has a trial-and-error chase sequence and a surprising emotional twist, though some note the lack of key rebinding and imprecise hit detection. Reviews split on the difficulty: most find it easy, but some call it frustrating, especially in later horror sections.
