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 vibrant, playful and chaotic dash through a monochrome city, splashing color and bouncing off enemies to a catchy soundtrack.

What players say

Players call de Blob a charming and relaxing platformer with a great soundtrack, though the controls feel imprecise for platforming and the lock-on is unreliable. The campaign can stretch with full completion, points of no return are silent, and some PC ports have performance or input quirks. A few find the late-game repetitive.
