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 short, intense boss rush where precise mouse-based dodging and teleporting demands quick reactions at high frame rates.

What players say

Players enjoy this short, hard action game where movement and attacks are tied to the mouse. The DLC, released eight years after launch, is praised for improving on the original. One reviewer calls it effectively Undertale with mouse controls.
