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

Playing Jrago II feels like a frantic couch co-op romp through a dark fantasy metroidvania, slicing demons with friends while unlocking gear and spells.

What players say

Players describe it as a janky but charming co-op action game that feels like a 90s console throwback, with digitized sprites and a metal soundtrack. Opinions split on the genre: many say it is stage-based and linear, not a metroidvania. Performance slowdowns are common, but fans appreciate the Castlevania homage and the fun of playing with a friend.
