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-paced, retro-styled action platformer with linear levels and punishing boss fights.

What players say

Players call it a solid NES-era action homage, especially for Castlevania fans. The character is slow but the game is fast-paced, and while many find it easy, the final boss is frustrating.
