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

Super Metroid flipped upside-down — a disorienting exploration hack requiring wall-jumps and creativity.

About

This is Super Metroid, but upside down. Wall-jumping is necessary, and Infinite-bomb-jump is recommended. There are a few tweaks that were necessary, because turns out this game isn't designed to be upside down.
