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 methodical puzzle-platformer where you carve through dynamic underground environments using scarce tools and abilities against natural obstacles.

What players say

Players are split on Agartha. Some enjoy its exploration, physics puzzles and character variety, others find the combat awkward, movement unpleasant and some levels demand tedious waiting for lava to drain. There are reports that controller support does not work or is difficult to set up, and several reviewers compare it unfavorably to Noita.
