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

An oddball Mario hack with cryptic Japanese humor and redesigned levels for a strange, familiar adventure.

About

To say "Princess Peach! Kidnapped" and or, that you say, especially at this late hour is not. The "extra" to torment the Mario "shortage". That’s it. Tricks are required!
