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.

What players say

Chromatic is a fast-paced arcade shooter where players match colors on a wheel to defeat enemies. Players say it is hard at first but rewarding once the color system clicks, though some find switching colors slow when facing many enemy types at once, and a few report controller reconnection issues on startup.
