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 nostalgic and humor-infused 2D platformer that feels like a playful, meme-aware romp through retro action, with lighthearted combat and a quirky sense of adventure.

What players say

Players are split on Porradaria Upgrade. Some enjoy the retro challenge and hidden content, but many cite imprecise controls, instant death pits, and repetitive music as dealbreakers. The game is short, with four levels and three bosses, and often compared to Shinobi or Ninja Gaiden.
