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 cute but brutally challenging platformer where you constantly die while juggling two characters, creating a mix of despair and dark comedy.

What players say
Players control two characters at once, one with each hand, creating a unique coordination challenge. Reviews say it is tough but beatable in about 2-3 hours, with the dual-control mechanic causing deliberate disorientation. Some players find the mapping confusing, as the left character sometimes appears on the right side of the screen.
