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 arcade chase where you dig for gems while setting traps to delay persistent ghosts.

What players say

Players are split on this retro-style platformer. The core freeze mechanic and speed of the ghost frustrate some, while others find it satisfying once mastered. Many note the short main campaign, but the built-in level editor adds replay value. Bugs that trap the player in an animation and cause crashes are consistently reported.
