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 breezy collectathon where you explore colorful worlds, doing playful jumps and races in a cheerful, nostalgic cartoon style.

What players say
Players call Poi a loving but uneven tribute to 3D Mario, especially Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. Many praise the smooth movement and level design, but reviewers split on whether the low-budget visuals and generic character art undercut the charm. The New Game Plus mode is widely criticized for simply mirroring levels and giving the player only one hit point.
