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 hand-drawn metroidvania that feels like a moody, nonlinear journey through a strange world where your choices shape a story filled with dark humor and corruption.

What players say
Players say Aestik is a short metroidvania that wears its Hollow Knight inspiration openly, with smooth movement and choice-driven story branches. The map system draws frequent criticism for being confusing, and the late game platforming spikes sharply in difficulty, frustrating some who enjoyed the earlier pacing.
