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 neon-drenched retro platformer where precise jumping and hacking blend with exploration and a deep cyberpunk mystery.

What players say

Players enjoy the retro cyberpunk style with comic book cutscenes and a 90s arcade feel. The game is fairly short with 12 levels, and while some find it punishing, others call it not very difficult. Players are split on controls: some strongly recommend a gamepad, one criticizes the lack of key rebinding.
