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 game about repeatedly jumping, falling, and getting back up, creating a sense of persistence through trial and error.

What players say

Players love the adorable art and see Hamstory as a kind, more accessible take on the Jump King formula. The charged jump is shown with a UI bar, and a major update added plentiful checkpoints, making the game far less punishing. Players split on whether the base climb is tough or moderate, but the cute hamster and gentle atmosphere offset frustration for most.
