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 fluid twin-stick shooter where you manipulate heat, cold, and liquid to solve environmental puzzles while rescuing scientists.

What players say

Players praise the twin-stick shooting and physics puzzles, but many report a persistent music bug and glitching with the classic visuals. The game is frequently played in co-op and evokes strong nostalgia for the PS3 originals, though some find part 2 weaker than part 1.
