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 frantic, retro-styled side-scrolling fight through swarming demonic hordes on a besieged beach.

What players say

Players describe this free prologue as a retro brawler in the style of Golden Axe, with good pixel art and music. Some find the boss too hard with limited continues, and a few mention crashes. Co-op is a highlight for some, while others find level design basic and controls awkward.
