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

The smash arcade classic returns in all its glory! Shadowy conglomerate Ultratech has organized a merciless fighting tournament of unprecedented scope and brutality. Lured by Ultratech’s promises or driven by their own motives, fighters from all over the world have gathered to compete, including a mysterious warrior monk, a disgraced heavyweight boxing champion, a convict made of living flame, and the reanimated skeleton of an ancient warrior. Who among them has a true Killer Instinct?
