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
You pilot a tiny probe through a vast, desolate alien world, unlocking abilities and unraveling ancient mysteries in a quiet, methodical Metroidvania.

What players say
Players love the alien atmosphere and detailed world, but are split on the controls: many find them floaty and cumbersome, making combat and backtracking a chore. The game is a short metroidvania with heavy backtracking, and some players find it too slow despite its strong visual storytelling.
