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 call it a faithful Game & Watch-style arcade shooter with simple two-button controls and a Time Pilot feel. Opinions split on value: some find it charming and addictive for short bursts, while others say it is too shallow and overpriced even on sale.
