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 fast-paced arcade space shooter where you pilot a ship through tense dogfights and survival missions in a harsh sci-fi universe.

What players say

Players are split on Arc Savior. Some enjoy it as a nostalgic arcade space shooter with responsive controls, while others criticize its lack of checkpoints, missions that require trial-and-error memorization, and crucial dialogue that pops up during hectic dogfights. The difficulty spikes sharply after the first few missions.
