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 high-speed, first-person dash through floating ruins where momentum and reflexes drive each run.

What players say

Players say Crystal Call is a free first-person parkour game from a student project, short at under an hour for a first playthrough but with leaderboard replayability. Some praise the movement and polish, while others note an inconsistent dash mechanic, motion sickness issues, and a lack of checkpoints that makes later levels feel unfair.
