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 frantic side-scroller where you die in one hit but instantly rewind a few seconds to try again, blending trial-and-error with slick swordplay.

What players say
Players are split on COGEN. Some enjoy the responsive controls and rewind mechanic, calling it a fun challenge for action-platformer fans. Many others call it unfair, with imprecise hitboxes, frustrating level design, and a short 4 to 6 hour campaign that feels overpriced at full price. The wall jump is widely criticized as a stiff wall kick that creates awkward gaps in controls.
