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 describe it as a simple arcade wave shooter where you defend a starbase from a turret, comparing it to old Beachhead or Galaga. Reviews split on weapon balance, with some calling the vulcan and railgun unreliable and unhelpful at close range.
