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 lovingly crafted Game Boy demake of the brutal roguelike The Binding of Isaac, built for original hardware.

About

A demake for the classic roguelike The Binding of Isaac originally developed by Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl. This homebrew redesign of the game was built from the ground up to run on the original Game Boy hardware itself (meaning it will require an emulator to play on the PC).
