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

You are a lone gunner in a frantic, relentless arcade-style shooter, firing machine guns and missiles at waves of enemies until the bitter end.

What players say

Players are split, a vocal group says the game is unplayable on Windows 11 with a black screen and requires task manager to exit, while others report it now works fine. Those who get it running describe it as a fun old arcade turret game, though some mention input delay and freezing as ongoing problems.
