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 snappy, retro-styled top-down action-RPG where you hack through infected systems with a lightweight, playful tone and hand-crafted dungeons.

What players say

Players praise this as a polished, nostalgic homage to Game Boy Zelda games, especially Link's Awakening. It is very short, around two to three hours, and priced accordingly. Reviewers consistently note the clever puzzles and the way dungeons are themed as computer systems, but some wish you could equip more than two items at once.
