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 gentle, contemplative platforming adventure through lush, mythical environments, focused on unhurried exploration and quiet discovery rather than intense action.

About

In a fantastical Brazil where nature has reclaimed the world, an ancient corruption threatens both mortals and spirits. Take on the role of Cururu, a young cane toad chosen by the gods, as he seeks to master the power of the Lunar Waters and discover new ways to explore reimagined biomes filled with mysteries, enchanted creatures, and secrets from the past. Face the Miasma, free guardians from Brazilian folklore, and restore nature’s balance before all of Zootania is consumed.
