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 frantic, retro-styled action platformer that throws you into fast-paced battles against demon hordes and bosses, delivering a challenging but fun old-school feel.

What players say

Players note the visual degradation mechanic where the world loses color with each death, but many find the controls floaty and slippery for a game demanding precision. Opinions split on whether the short length and retro feel make up for the clunky gameplay.
