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.

What players say

Players call it a worthy sequel that expands the first game's formula with planetary travel, more metroidvania-like exploration, and no wasted trips. Some say the increased difficulty can feel more punishing than fun. The story goes further than expected, and long-time fans enjoy the callbacks to Sunsoft games.
