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 enjoy the loot progression and carry-over system across campaigns, finding the enemy variety keeps things engaging. Keyboard input issues and old-game compatibility quirks are common frustrations, but most find it well worth the price for a nostalgia trip.
