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

A gloriously absurd and fast-paced rampage where you slide through alien-infested cities with snappy controls and a goofy edge.

What players say

Players warn the Steam port is glitchy, with crashes and audio bugs that require mods or tweaks to run on modern systems. Those who get it working praise its quirky sci-fi style and frantic arcade action, but the dated mouse controls and short length hold it back. Opinions split on whether the hassle is worth it.
