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 no-frills brawl through waves of enemies that feels like a straightforward test of combat skill rather than atmosphere or story.

About

Using a mixture of powerful martial arts techniques, swordplay and good old-fashioned hot lead you must battle through the beautiful scenery of the Shogun's Island. Defeat hundreds of the enemy's evil minions in your struggle to reach his castle and claim victory over the other contestants.
