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 fun reimagining of what a fourth Donkey Kong arcade game might have looked like using classic NES assets.

About

Imagine if instead of Super Mario Bros., they had created a 4th Donkey Kong game with the same gameplay… This game contains a redesigned World 1 and assets from the classic Donkey Kong games, Mario Bros., and Wrecking Crew. Mario must climb the ladder at the end of each level to make it to 1-4 where he must rescue Pauline.
