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 fast-paced arcade shooter where you pilot a plane down a river, frantically dodging and blasting targets while managing fuel to survive.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a faithful tribute or a low-quality copyright infringement of the Atari 2600 classic. Some enjoy the nostalgic 3D upgrade, while others call a direct ripoff with broken controls and lacking basic modern PC standards.
