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

Players call this a unique top-down shooter about planting bombs, describing it as a slow-paced arcade port with a tiny play area and a massive UI. Opinions split on its accuracy as a port, some praise its co-op and short levels, while others note the gameplay is not true to the original arcade release.
