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 somber and atmospheric 2D platformer where you cautiously explore a hostile, post-apocalyptic fortress to save a loved one.

What players say
Players consistently note this is not a metroidvania, instead it is a roguelike-like where you hide from a monster and cannot fight back. Each death adds a negative debuff with no progression, which many find frustrating. The hand-drawn art and music are praised, but the lack of a map and direction divides players.
