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.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and story, but are divided on the controls, with some finding them too sluggish and the movement a chore. The ending draws strong opinions: many warn that only collecting all secret weapon parts before the final boss grants a good ending, calling the default ending a slap in the face.
