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 vibrant, tightly tuned 3D platformer that feels like an enthusiastic reimagining of beloved classics, with snappy movement and a cheerful sense of discovery.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the fixes to the original's faults, while others say the remaster makes the game too easy by handing out all abilities at the start. Many complain about persistent softlock bugs and brutal minecart sections. Some note the game is under 6 hours.
