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 rail-shooter with quirky dialogue and tough boss battles.

What players say

Players praise this on-foot rail shooter's arcade feel and character banter, but note it is best with mouse and keyboard as the controller has issues. The campaign is short, around an hour, but extra modes add replay value.
