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 challenging 2D action-adventure with retro pixel graphics and a pulsing soundtrack, set in a neon-lit futuristic city.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and music, but many find the movement painfully slow and the maps too large with too much empty space. The difficulty is divisive: some love the old school challenge and puzzles, while others complain about cheap instant deaths from pits and lasers.
