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 colorful, arcade-like action-adventure where you fight cartoonish viruses in a virtual computer world to rescue game characters.

What players say

Players say it is a very short and simple side-scrolling beat 'em up, with repetitive enemies and basic combat that gets the job done. The main draw is the pixel art adult scenes with voice acting, featuring parodies of familiar game characters, and fans praise the frequent updates and low price.
