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 brutally difficult and relentless side-scrolling platformer that actively punishes the player with dense enemy patterns and instant death hazards.

What players say

Players call this an extreme difficulty remix of the base game, with stages that demand hundreds of deaths each. It reuses the same story but redesigns levels around tricky magic combos, and the so-called enjoy mode still leaves instant death traps. Players strongly recommend starting with the original game first unless you are a masochist for precision platformers.
