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 cheeky, light-footed platformer that pokes fun at gaming's commercial quirks while you hop and collect coins.

What players say

Players praise DLC Quest as a sharp satire of microtransactions that lands its one-joke premise and still feels relevant years later. The platforming is simple and easy, and the first campaign is tighter than the sequel, but the whole experience is short and best picked up on sale.
