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, military-themed vehicular combat game where you pilot a drone boat through futuristic waters, guided by radio chatter and a linear story campaign.

What players say

Players find it a simple, nostalgic throwback to Flash games with responsive controls, but the story mode is very short at 20 minutes. The enemy AI only attacks within a small area and the player's weapon has unlimited range, making most objectives trivially safe. A minority finds it genuinely challenging.
