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 retro-styled action-platformer focused on exploring alien caves and a mysterious Mars base.

What players say

Players call it a short micro-metroidvania that takes 1-2 hours, with a map that tracks missing collectibles. The art and music mimic 8-bit computers, and you can toggle between original and enhanced visuals. Some found the first area's path unclear and some late-game rooms cause lag.
