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 frantic, retro-inspired arcade romp through a whimsical mechanical world.

What players say

Players call it a faithful port of an obscure 1992 Genesis shooter, but the controls are rough: you can only attack in four directions and must cycle through them with a button. Difficulty is high, and some find the price too steep for a barebones re-release with no resolution options.
