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 are split on this 2011 twin-stick shooter: some call it a fun, if simple, arcade blast that holds up with tight controls and a dieselpunk look, while others find it unremarkable and dated, with performance bugs and no cloud saves. Many buy it for nostalgia or couch co-op.
