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 chaotic prehistoric scavenger hunt with cartoonish violence and relentless platforming.

What players say

Players call this a faithful 1991 DOS port with no saving, no controller support, and no modern niceties like achievements. Many praise the nostalgic 8-bit music and arcadey gameplay, but most agree the controls are stiff and the difficulty is punishing, even unfair. Some report no sound or visual trouble requiring manual config editing.
