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.

What players say

Players consistently say Inexistence Rebirth is a short, linear Metroidvania that can be finished in a few hours, with only two areas. Many find the controls and hitboxes frustrating, and call the music forgettable. The positive reviews say it is a decent budget pick on sale with rewarding exploration, but split feelings exist over its shallow mechanics and lack of polish.
