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-inspired cinematic platformer with smooth movement and a dark dystopian atmosphere.

What players say

Players call it a faithful revival of Flashback and Another World, with deliberate movement, rotoscoped pixel art and a short 3-5 hour runtime. The biggest complaint is that you cannot save mid-level, causing frustration when the game tricks you into replaying entire stages for missed items.
