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
Fast-paced, acrobatic platforming with tight controls and a surprising, humorous time-travel twist

What players say
Players praise the snappy platforming, fantastic soundtrack, and comedic writing. Many appreciate the surprise shift from linear levels to a metroidvania structure partway through, though some find the platforming relies on trial and error and dislike the insta-death spikes in the second half. Opinions are split on the back half: some find it a clever twist, others call it padded and frustrating.
