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 third-person shooter from the 90s that feels like playing through an interactive Star Wars movie with constant blaster combat.

What players say

Players are split on this N64 port: nostalgia draws many back, but they find the controls wonky, the level design punishing, and bugs can block progress. The game is brutally hard, especially on higher difficulties, and the PC version does not support controllers.
