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 deliberately old-school 2D action-platformer with a cooperative twist, where two players control a knight and a bird simultaneously through linear stages.

What players say

Players call this a faithful NES port that plays like Castlevania but with a shorter sword and a co-op falcon. Combat is more about timing and positioning than brawling, and reviewers split on whether the controls hold up.
