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 short, retro 2D shooter where you run through ruins with a weapon, chasing a magical crystal in a brisk arcade-style adventure.

What players say

Players call it a short, old-school platformer with snappy controls and a reasonable first playthrough. New Game Plus spikes the difficulty and can feel trial-and-error, and some note the fast movement leads to accidental deaths. A few reviewers mention missing quality-of-life features like a volume slider.
