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 retro-inspired action platformer where you explore interconnected areas, fight enemies, and upgrade your abilities to prove yourself as a hero in a pixelated world.

What players say

Players are split on Two Bit Hero. Some praise its responsive controls and reality-shifting exploration, while others are frustrated by locked controls, a confusing map, weak boss fights, and bugs at the start. It is a short metroidvania at 4 to 5 hours with multiple endings.
