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.

What players say

Players are split on this short 2D platformer that mixes Mario, Mega Man, and Sonic influences. Some call it a lazy, buggy clone with sluggish controls, while others enjoy the homages and music, noting the developer fixed early issues quickly.
