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 say Duke of Alpha Centauri is a recycled sidescrolling shooter built from premade templates, with monotonous waves and a broken UI. It is overpriced but always on a deep sale. Some enjoy the simple arcade loop, but most find it boring and easy to beat by letting the auto-aim play.
