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 constantly manage shifting fronts and rebuild defenses against an ever-flowing enemy, creating a satisfying loop of pressure and cathartic counterattacks.

What players say
Players praise its longevity and value, especially the custom maps from the community, and note it runs on very old hardware. Some find it repetitive and players wish for save states and volume controls.
