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.

About

A deadly alien force has taken control of all of the Earth's military forces. For some reason, the alien power is unable to control you, leaving you as the only one who can fight back. To be victorious you will need to battle both military forces and alien creatures in a variety of different landscapes. Along the way different weapons can be found to help your assault, along with temporary invincibility and energy replenishing power ups after destroying certain enemies. There are eight different worlds with numerous, deadly enemies to conquer.
