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.

What players say

Players report Tompi Jones is a broken platformer with frequent crashes, memory access violations, and glitches like falling through floors. The controls are imprecise, there is no controller support or proper resolution options, and the same annoying song plays throughout. A few call it laughably bad, while a handful find charm in its ambition despite the bugs.
