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 frantic arcade-defense roguelike where every 10 seconds you weigh meaningful upgrades to survive escalating nuclear bombardment.

What players say

Players compare it to a modernized Missile Command with satisfying explosion chaining. Runs are short but escalate quickly, and while opinion splits on whether the explosion physics can be frustrating or fun, everyone agrees wiping the screen feels good.
