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 nostalgic but modernized arcade shooter with relentless enemy swarms, screen-filling bullets, and cooperative mayhem.

What players say

Players are split on Riders 2491. Some find it a decent local co-op shmup with a shop system and route choices, but many more complain that enemies are bullet sponges, shields make them invincible for long periods, and the difficulty feels unfair even on easy mode.
