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.

About

The Adventures of Shuggy is a 2D platformer with a leaning towards puzzles. There are over 100 single player levels and 36 Co-Op levels connected through a gradually unlocking map screen ensuring there is always a variety of levels to choose from. Progress through the mansion is punctuated by comic book cut scenes and the occassional boss encounter. Every room in Shuggy's castle is different, letting Shuggy travel in time, swing on ropes, turn to a zombie, shrink, grow, fly, teleport and more.
