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

Precise platforming and weapon-based combat through a linear fantasy world with a story about a fallen creator and summoned savior.

What players say

A faithful remake of the I Wanna Be The Best Guy 2 fan game, adding new systems like a weapon skill tree and shotgun-recoil platforming while keeping the classic hardcore feel. Players split: longtime fans praise the nostalgic fun and boss fights, but some find the controls clunky, the camera unhelpful in certain sections, and the save system archaic.
