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.

A fast-paced endless runner where you control a virus through varied obstacle courses using mouse and buttons.

What players say

Players are split: some see a quick, harmless collection of 6 simple endless-runner minigames with easy achievements, while others call it an asset flip that reuses stolen Unreal assets. Most agree the maps are short and the gameplay is basic.
