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

Rebuilding the classic platform feel with new puzzles and levels, it plays like a nostalgic arcade adventure with a light, puzzle-platforming pace.

What players say

Players split on this remake of the 1983 C64 classic. Nostalgic fans appreciate the familiar Dino Egg system and new puzzles but find the added father-daughter backstory and goofy sound effects unnecessary. The original is widely considered more fun and better looking by its advocates.
