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 2D platformer with careful jumps and enemy avoidance through labyrinthine pyramids, evoking the feel of 80s arcade classics.

What players say

Players call this a full reimagining that blends the best of the earlier Montezuma games, adding trampolines, masks, and a final boss fight. Longtime fans love the faithful old-school feel but note that the later levels get hard. A known problem: the game is broken on Windows with a black screen, and the developer never patched it.
