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 fast-paced, cartoonish action platformer with light historical mystery and arcade-style scoring.

What players say

Players are deeply split: some call it a plagiarized asset flip with broken controls, ear-splitting audio, and levels that skip, while others enjoy it as a nostalgic 2D platformer with a nice soundtrack. Those who like it say it feels like old SEGA or Mario games, but even they note the attack and jump can be sluggish.
