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 brutally difficult pixel-art platformer that punishes one missed jump with a long fall, fueled by rage and competition with friends.

What players say

Hellstuck is a precision platformer in the style of Jump King, with a single map and no checkpoints. Players say it is much easier than Jump King, taking about an hour to beat, but still brutally hard, with a 5% completion rate. It shines in multiplayer where players can wait for or laugh at each other, but in singleplayer it is described as pure suffering.
