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 straightforward blend of mental arithmetic drills and basic shooter movement, where you solve equations to attack while walking a simple map.

What players say

Players like the idea of combining math with arcade shooting, but many say the execution is rough. Controls feel clunky, the game is windowed only, and higher-digit problems quickly become overwhelming. Some find it a fun brain exercise for kids, while others think the difficulty scaling is poorly balanced.
