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, fast-paced on-rails shooter that puts you in the cockpit of iconic Star Wars vehicles for arcade-style blasting and dogfighting.

What players say

Players call this a pure 90s interactive movie where you occasionally press buttons. The controls are the main complaint: they are borderline impossible with mouse or keyboard, and even a joystick only partially helps. Fans split on whether the clunky controls ruin the nostalgia trip or are just part of the old-school charm.
