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
Explores death and the afterlife with a melancholic, esoteric tone while navigating a 2D open world with deliberate, challenging combat and platforming.

What players say
Players praise the gorgeous pixel art, music and Ghibli-like atmosphere, but split on difficulty and polish: some love the old-school no-hand-holding design, others find save points too far and combat janky. Performance on low-end hardware is poor, and a few worry the early access is abandoned.
