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 heartwarming, whimsical journey through lush, colorful worlds with light puzzle-platforming and a focus on camaraderie and exploration.

What players say

Players are split on Faerie Afterlight. Many praise its art and music but fault clunky controls, missed inputs, and frustrating boss fights. Some say the map is poor and backtracking is limited, while others report fast travel and backtracking exist. The game is seen as beautiful but mechanically flawed.
