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

You explore a connected 2D world collecting pumpkins, with light puzzle solving and mild spooky charm.

What players say

Players agree this is not a true Metroidvania: you have no unlockable abilities, just a free-roam map of 100 rooms each hiding a pumpkin. The game is short (under 30 minutes for most), has no music, and its retro Atari-style graphics divide opinion. Movement is tight but some rooms feel empty. A dedicated few enjoy pursuing the brutal deathless-run achievement.
