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 love letter to early 2000s ROM hacks with tight platforming, surreal aesthetics, and surprising difficulty.

About

The year is 2017. the war between aesthetics and level design rages on. cities have collapsed, buildings burned. but from the wake of this destruction comes a guiding light: Yump. Yump is a love letter to 2008 romhacks that protonjon or azureblade would've played, and is the hotly anticipated sequel to Jump.
