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 classic pixel-art metroidvania that feels like a nostalgic co-op adventure through a fantasy demon realm.

What players say

Players praise the retro MSX-era pixel art and co-op, but split on whether the co-op feels tacked on. Many say the game is built around fetch quests, and boss fights can be a slog.
