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, explosive side-scrolling shooter where you blast through walls and aliens with over-the-top weaponry.

What players say

Players are split on this old PS2-era port. It works on Windows 10 for some but has janky mouse controls that spin to a second monitor, no checkpoints, zero graphical settings, and inconsolably loud audio. Fans of the original praise the nostalgia, while others find it unplayable without heavy tinkering.
