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

You zip through alien worlds as a cyborg bounty hunter, using a detachable robotic arm to grapple and blast enemies in frantic co-op combat.

What players say

Players praise the flying and slow-motion combat as unique and fun, and the graphics get consistent compliments. The developer is described as responsive, though some call the game unfinished and broken for Index users. Reviews note there is only one planet so far.
