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

Exploring a pixelated medieval ruin with a trusty whip, unlocking the map in any order while juggling DOS quirks.

What players say

A faithful NES-style tribute to Simon's Quest that starts brutally hard until the double-jump power-up dramatically drops the difficulty. Players note it feels like a polished proof of concept rather than a full game, with heart farming advised before bosses and performance slowing when many sprites appear on screen.
