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
an exploratory side-scroller where you slowly gain power and revisit areas, balancing a light fantasy tone with mild challenge.

What players say
Players value having a legally included ROM for emulation, and while mostly nostalgic fans, some find it still plays well as a metroidvania. The 1991 original had final boss difficulty increased for the west and a game-over-on-death mechanic that forces saving at inns.
