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 bright, family-friendly pixel platformer with a simple hero's journey and multiple included game variants for variety.

What players say

Players call this a faithful NES-style Zelda homage with a metroidvania map and Adventure Quest humor. The PC port is clunky: sound lags, jumping is imprecise, and settings are hidden inside a save file. The game offers multiple endings, one requiring AdventureQuest 3D to read, and a secret mode where you play as an invincible dog.
