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 fast and challenging retro action platformer where you slash through ghouls and dodge traps.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and Castlevania-style action, but they are split on the difficulty: some find the knockback frustrating while others say it is challenging but fair. Many note the game is very short, around three to five hours, and a few report bugged achievements or missing cloud saves.
