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.

About

The Mask is based on the movie with the same name. The story follows poor guy Stanley Ipkiss who finds a mysterious mask and is given mysterious powers from it.. As in the movie, Stanley (aka The Mask) has some funny weapons, like the Guns, the Horn, the Hammer and the ability to transform into a big Tornado. He battles through levels inspired by the movie, including his apartment, the city streets, the bank, the park, the jail, and the night club for the final showdown.
