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 tense sci-fi action adventure where you play as a bounty hunter on a dangerous mission to recover a lab and fight a viral threat.

What players say

Players call it a faithful emulated port of a GBA metroidvania-like that holds up as a challenging isometric action-adventure. The infection meter adds a time limit, and the final boss is a remembered difficulty spike. Reviews are split on controller remapping and whether the emulation runs well.
