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 deliberately retro action platformer with tight controls, punishing difficulty, and classic gothic atmosphere.

What players say
Players overwhelmingly recommend this as a faithful throwback to NES Castlevania, especially Castlevania 3. They praise its pixel art, music, multiple characters and multiple endings, though a few find the platforming and combat dated, and opinions split on whether it is too easy or too punishing when losing teammates.
