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, arcade-style shoot 'em up where you drive a vehicle through a post-apocalyptic wasteland, upgrading weapons and dodging relentless enemy fire in a race for treasure.

What players say

Players consistently compare it to a chaotic fusion of Spy Hunter and Mad Max, praising the 80s arcade feel and abundant unlockable cars and weapons. However, they warn it is very hard and visually overwhelming, with bullets and collectibles blending into the background, and split on controls, as one reviewer found the d-pad mandatory on controller.
