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

The Amazing Spider-Man is an action-adventure video game released in 2012, developed by Beenox and published by Activision.

The gameplay includes stealth, brawler-style combat, and environmental puzzles.
