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 moody pixel-art platformer with open-ended levels that encourage exploration and experimentation, supported by generous checkpoints and an electronic soundtrack.

What players say

Players say HIKIBYOU 2 is a short, challenging 2D platformer with tight controls and a focus on parkour. The story is thin, but there is a twist at the end that some found surprising.
