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.

About

A reimagined The Thousand-Year Door story with new elements and puzzles that comes with harder difficulty, badges, and twists! Hero Mode is intended for "professional players," but can be also played by "casual players" too! With that being said, you don't need to superguard at all to beat Hero Mode.
