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 retro-inspired action game where you pilot a tank through interconnected worlds, switching perspectives while exploring and upgrading.

What players say

Players are split on Helena The 3rd: some call it a fun Blaster Master tribute with three gameplay styles, others say it is a barely-playable school project with broken controls, bad hitboxes, and no remapping. Most agree the price is low, but many feel the graphics and animations are subpar even for that.
