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.

About

Sonic the Hedgehog & Ashuro is an awesome ROM hack based on the classic Sonic the Hedgehog. Created by Ashuro from SSRG (Drakughost), the game features 2 characters and 2 universes on one single screen. The game features custom and special stages with 3 acts that take place during the different time of the day. In this game, you will control both Sonic and Ashuro. The two characters have similar movement but use a different approach on various obstacles like water and high places. If you can collect 50 coins during the gameplay, you will transform into a more powerful form. Good luck!
