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 relentlessly difficult retro-style platformer where every jump and shot matters, blending spooky gothic horror with a frantic pace.

What players say

Players praise it as a faithful remaster of a 90s classic with modern controller support and a level editor, but some complain the sprites are too large, making it hard to see ahead, and note that achievements can be buggy.
