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 gentle, exploratory trek through a colorful pixel world where solving puzzles and uncovering secrets feels rewarding and deliberate.

What players say

Players say Alwa's Legacy improves on the first game with bigger dungeons and more secrets, but some find the upgraded bubble unlock frustratingly missable late in the game. The pixel art and chiptune soundtrack are praised, and while controls are solid, bosses are often described as too simple. There are minor glitches with sprites and ladders.
