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.

What players say

Players love Photon Rush as a local multiplayer party game for big groups, praising its fast action and ability to keep fun going well past 20 minutes. The one-hand control scheme is a hit for social play, though some note the menu needs polish.
