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 whimsical puzzle-platformer where you toggle between solid and ghostly forms to solve tricky but light-hearted challenges, full of puns and retro pixel charm.

What players say

Players describe Ghostory as a puzzle-first game where you switch between corporeal and ghost forms to carry a backpack through levels. Some reviewers warn that character controls can feel imprecise during timed pixel-perfect jumps.
