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 somber and atmospheric side-scrolling journey through a corrupted fortress, blending deliberate combat with melancholic exploration.

What players say
Players praise the art style and soundtrack, calling it a relaxing beginner-friendly metroidvania. Combat is simple and the shared health-and-energy bar is divisive. The teddy bear heal mechanic is charming. Most finish in under 12 hours.
