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 challenging retro-style platformer with simple mechanics that feels like a tough NES-era game, requiring precision and patience.

What players say

Players praise its old-school challenge and level design, but warn the difficulty spikes quickly. Some report controller problems and note the co-op is limited to local play.
