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 lightweight pixel platformer where you clumsily bounce through old-school checkpoints and die repeatedly while collecting coins to free robot souls.

What players say

Players describe DARTHY as a short two-hour platformer where you control a rolling robot head. It is considered difficult and rage-inducing with frequent deaths, but controls are tight and the music is well liked. Some players find it unoriginal compared to other retro pixel platformers on Steam.
