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 zany, irreverent platforming romp where absurd humor and manic action keep you laughing through time-traveling chaos.

What players say

Players praise the chaotic creativity and absurd humor but split on the remaster: some say the original had better controls and level design, and the weapon changes feel like a downgrade. The game is short, around 3 to 4 hours, and the platforming is considered mediocre, though the constant new gimmicks keep it fresh.
