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 and punishing retro platformer where every death sends you back to the start, demanding careful movement and combat.

What players say

Players say Endorlight feels like a bare-bones, low-budget version of Spelunky. Controls are laggy and clunky, levels and bosses repeat without developing mechanics, and there is little sense of progression or challenge. A few enjoy its simplicity, but many call it an asset flip or cash grab. Reviewers also note suspiciously high numbers of fake reviews.
