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

A fast-paced, retro-inspired first-person shooter where you strategically blast through hordes of genetically engineered monsters in a genetics lab.

What players say

Players say this is not a real port but a GBA emulator wrapper with no modern enhancements, no mouse support, and stretched visuals. A few find the original game fun and appreciate getting a legal ROM, but most call it overpriced and lowest-effort.
