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 quirky, story-driven platformer where you guide shadow creatures through a darkly whimsical escape across strange worlds.

What players say

Players praise the dark comic art style and solid mechanics of this runner-platformer hybrid, but a broken camera and jerky controls create trial-and-error sections that many find unfair. Opinions split on difficulty: some call it a decent challenge while others find it frustrating. The story is considered thin and the ending abrupt.
