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, retro arcade shooter that demands quick reflexes and precision as you blast aliens and navigate tight corridors for high scores.

What players say

Players praise it as a faithful recreation of early 80s arcade hits, mixing Defender's rescue and laser weapons with Joust's arena and enemies. It requires long sessions for high scores since there is no save function, but works well for quick pickup play.
