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

An oddball survival game where you evolve a blocky creature by eating rivals and clawing your way to the top of the food chain.

About

Eat or be eaten! Assume the role of an animal in it's early stages of evolutionary development. As your animal instincts take over, you will boldly traverse hostile environments, savagely stalking your prey to assert your place in the animal chain of power. Will you have what it takes to become the new king of beasts? The game started development on the Nintendo 64, but went unreleased, being later ported to the Nintendo GameCube. A prototype of the Nintendo 64 version has been found.
