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, claustrophobic dash through a flooding ship, dodging bullets while scrambling for air and escape.

What players say

Players are split on Wake, a platformer about escaping a sinking ship. Many complain about blurry graphics, sluggish menus, and the inability to pause unless a radio item randomly interrupts gameplay. Others praise the tense, atmospheric experience but note it offers little replay value and feels more like a one-hour novelty than a full game.
