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 retro-styled action platformer where precise jumps, new abilities, and enemy encounters drive a dark fantasy rescue mission.

What players say

Players say the series formula is strong here, but the difficulty is easier than past entries, making it feel too simple for some. A notable risk: opening a certain chest early locks you out of the true ending. The new heroine's float and teleport abilities are finicky, and controls on slippery platforms frustrate.
