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

Flying through historical air battles with quick arcade shooting and accessible educational facts popping up between the action.

What players say

Players say the game is a free, simple shoot 'em up that serves as a vehicle for Spanish Civil War educational content, with many praising the historical info and cutscenes over the gameplay itself. The actual gameplay is described as bare-bones and repetitive, lacking common shmup features like score counters or power-ups.
