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 die over and over, each splatter revealing one more sliver of the hidden room, making failure the only way to move forward.

What players say
Players call this an honest precision platformer that lives up to its name. The darkness shroud that lifts as you paint it with your character's blood is a fresh twist on exploration, and the fast respawns keep frustration from overwhelming the fun. Some mention uneven difficulty spikes and occasional freezes in multiplayer, while longer reviews note the included level editor adds replay value.
