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 deliberate, atmospheric 2D platformer blending physics puzzles with a foreboding sense of journey and danger.

What players say

Players are split on recommending DrakulA. They praise its music, art style, and the unusual mechanic of creating your own platforms, but nearly everyone says the game is extremely short, around 15 to 30 minutes, with no save system and no controller support. Most agree it is only worth picking up at a deep discount.
