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 say this is a small retro collection of two classic football games, Goal from the NES and Super Goal from the SNES, with all regional variants and scanned manuals. Nostalgia is the main draw, though some note the NES game plays smoother than the original thanks to modern emulation features like rewind and save states. A few report an audio bug where volume resets to 100 percent at launch.
