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, challenging action RPG with pixel graphics and retro charm, where you explore dungeons and collect items to fight aliens.

What players say

Players call it a zeldalike where a shotgun replaces the bow, split on whether its old-school charm holds up: some love the banjo music and the 4-hour adventure for pocket change, others sour on frustrating controls and a final boss that spikes the difficulty hard.
