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 faithful old-school arcade blaster that's quick to learn, with rising tension as the centipede snakes ever closer and the difficulty ramps up steadily.
