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 high-energy side-scrolling shooter that feels like a love letter to 80s and 90s action movies, with punchy combat and a retro pixel aesthetic.

What players say
Players praise Prison City as a standout NES tribute that improves on the Power Blade formula with smooth controls and a grappling hook. They appreciate the difficulty options and soundtrack, though some find the level art confusing or the challenge punishing. A few criticize the lack of control remapping and uneven level design.
