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 frantically build and upgrade a chaotic spaceship while blasting through endless waves of aliens in a fast, arcade-style shooter.

What players say

Players praise the ship-building system but are split on the game's execution. Many find it deeply frustrating due to unfair difficulty spikes and long lost progress on death, while others enjoy the customization and addictive "one more run" loop. Some report control-breaking bugs, and several note the content feels incomplete or repetitive after a few hours.
