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

This game puts a modern spin on obstacle course gameplay, inspired by the all-time classic, River Raid. The player controls an ultra-fast spaceship on a rescue mission and needs to be mindful of the oncoming space debris, as well as the power level of the ship, which is resupplied by picking up special crystals. But this is no problem for one of the speediest vessels in the galaxy! The game is inspired by two classics, pop culture masterpieces, River Raid and Tron. The gameplay is a tribute to the well-known old-school arcade titles of the past. Jump into the super-fast spaceship, avoid and shoot oncoming obstacles, and all of this at crazy hyperspeed! It’s not going to be easy – with everything happening at a blazingly fast pace, you’ll need all of your attention.
