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 describe DogFighter as a simple arcade flight game with no campaign and a dead online mode, making it only playable alone or with friends. The controls are widely criticized as wonky, especially with mouse and keyboard, and some report it lacks sound or fails to launch on modern systems.
