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 fast-paced first-person shooter with occasional puzzle solving and a scrolling shooter segment, set in a post-apocalyptic world where the player must rescue a kidnapped ally.

What players say

Players say Invention 7 is an asset flip with AI-generated art and text-to-speech that crashes after the shoot-em-up section. A minority find it a decent free shooter for an hour, but most agree it offers little over its predecessors and runs poorly.
