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 straightforward action-adventure game where you jump and fight through virus-themed stages to unlock new skills and modes.

What players say

Players describe it as a retro action platformer with simple graphics and five modes, but little enemy variety. Some call it a card-farming vehicle, and opinions on value split, with several advising to wait for a sale.
