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 gentle, nostalgic collection game where you browse and play tiny retro LCD games at your own pace.

What players say

Players say the game is a well-crafted, nostalgic tribute to 80s and 90s handhelds, but it is very short, everything is over in 10 to 15 minutes. The one included game, Cursed Castle, is fun, though some feel the description is misleading and expected more content. Reviewers are split on value but agree it has potential if more games are added.
