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, fast platformer that demands quick reflexes while juggling perilous traps and dimension-switching.

About

Jump through boiling lava; run from perilous traps and saw blades; glide and climb through catacombs; fall into the abyss and overcome gravity. And don't forget to switch to a parallel dimension in time, because it’s Alteric!

This page is from Underplayed Gems, a catalog of older and overlooked games. Not quite it? You can browse by platform and genre, or take this one into the 3D catalog and ask the Catbot for something closer.
