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 relentless arcade gauntlet where you dodge traps and fight ninjas in brief, replayable bursts, driven by 80s anime visuals and laser-disc-era scene transitions.

What players say

This 1984 laserdisc game is a very short experience of quick-time events, completed in under three hours and even less with continuing. Players say the controls are more forgiving than similar games but complain about the lack of vsync and bonus features, and many find the price too high for the content.
