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 high-speed, acrobatic platformer that feels like racing through vibrant, surreal worlds while pulling off slick parkour moves and dealing with silly, over-the-top characters.

What players say

Players are sharply split on Sonic Lost World. Some find the parkour and music genuinely fun, while others call the controls janky and the boss fights frustrating. Many agree the game fails to explain its mechanics, and the PC port has resolution problems. The story and characters are widely seen as weak.
