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 side-scrolling brawler that leans on dramatic, movie-like camera angles to make each bounty-hunter battle feel like a scene from an action film.

About

Horizontal scrolling action based on the popular "Zeiram" special effects movie directed by Keita Amemiya. By using the 3D polygon characters and background appearance to achieve dramatic camera work as a movie scene, it becomes a powerful realization. Operate the Bounty Hunter Ilya, and she shall be confronted with the most powerful Zeiram combat organisms.
