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.

A quirky isometric mech shooter with a distinctive two-player mode where each player controls a different half of the same giant robot.

About

The game is viewed in an isometric view and features a unique 2-player mode where one player controls the bottom half of the mech to navigate it around the map while the second player controls the upper torso, which moves independently.
