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.

What players say

Players praise the fast combat and fun metroidvania gameplay, though they note it is short and lacks fast travel or new game plus. Some find the graphics too clean for the setting, while late-game enemies can stun lock the player. Long-time owners report Capcom added DRM years after purchase.
