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 frantic top-down shooter where you fight swarms of alien enemies through sci-fi environments under a time pressure.

What players say

Players are split on this trilogy finale: some find it the best entry with satisfying weapons and a brutal boss, but many others call it the weakest, citing repetitive locked-door fetch-quests, constant screen-shaking explosions, and a frustrating lack of polish that keeps the game from launching or crashes it.
