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 compare this to Ace Combat 3 and 4, calling it an anime-inspired clone made by a small Japanese team. It has 30 missions and a visual-novel style story, but the difficulty is inconsistent and the missile lock feels unreliable. Controller support exists but requires manual rebinding, and the graphics show their age even for a 2013 release.
