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 moody, retro-styled cinematic action-adventure that feels like a deliberately preserved classic with deliberate difficulty and a surreal post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the game's deliberate CGA corruption aesthetic and soundtrack, but are split on the intentionally low frame rate and clunky controls. It's compared to Another World and Flashback and considered hard but fair, with a very hard post-game mode.
