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.

About

Gungage is a futuristic third-person shooter where you battle strange creatures from Dark Moon, an alternative world threatening to invade Earth. Start with one playable character and unlock three others, each with distinct traits plus unique psychic powers. The story branches differently depending on your character choice, though all use the same level layouts. Collect special powers throughout missions set in diverse environments from deserts to laboratories, facing enemies ranging from prehistoric beasts to futuristic robots and tanks. Defeat giant bosses to complete each level across easy, medium, and hard difficulty modes.
