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 tense, somber action-platformer where you endure dark environments and precise parkour challenges, striving to escape an abyss after surviving a decade alone.

What players say

Players are split on this short, linear 2D platformer. The most common complaints are that everything kills you in one hit and the movement feels too fast and clunky, which some call cheap difficulty. A minority enjoy the challenge.
