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 are split on this retro platformer. Some praise the pixel art, music, and fun exploration, while others find it frustratingly slow, with tedious saving, unskippable sequences, and limited keyboard remapping. The difficulty is generally described as easier than classic NES games, but boss fights divide opinion.
