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 straightforward retro action-adventure with a classic fantasy story and casual pacing.

What players say
Players describe this as a faithful modernized remake of a 1984 MSX title, calling it a Druaga-like. It is praised for smooth controls and forgiving continues, but criticized for repetitive background music and cheap difficulty spikes where bombs can kill the player.
