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

An apathetic but frantic score-chaser where you feel a quiet mockery as you madly click popping balloons that multiply and accelerate.

What players say

Players describe it as a very difficult reflex clicker, comparing it to Dark Souls in difficulty, and some love the ending. The music reminds one reviewer of Banjo-Kazooie.
