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

You frantically shoot flying crates in a realistic warehouse, solving quick puzzles under pressure while new weapons ramp up the chaos.

What players say

Players say it starts slow and simple but becomes much harder and more complex in later levels. Some find the time pressure and difficulty a turn-off.
