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.

About

Among the Others is a parody ROM hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. This project is known for its bizarre, glitchy atmosphere and its unique character system: by default, players can play as Sonic with advanced moves like a double jump and air dash, but pressing B at the title screen activates a "soul" mode where you play as a Pepsi can.
