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 breakneck on-rails space shootout that feels like a pulpy, high-octane 90s arcade ride against a rebellious machine threat.

About

The human race is complacent. Computers take care of everything. Nothing can possibly go wrong. Until one day, the most dangerous information superhighway in history starts preaching armed revolution. The gospel of silicon against flesh... In the gut wrenching, heart stopping ride of a lifetime, pilot the Scavenger 4 space fighter between canyons, over glaciers and through cities in a one-on-one showdown with the deadly Scarab X. This heroic, high-flying adventure features dazzling 3D graphics, fully interactive white-knuckle playability, amazing full motion video sequences and a shredding rave soundtrack. Novastorm will chew you up and spit you out. But you'll come back begging for more...
