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 move a shrimp around, auto-firing at fish while collecting microplastics and slowly upgrading stats in a simple, repetitious loop.

What players say

Players see it as a free, simple Vampire Survivors-style game with a shrimp theme and cute pixel art. It works as a short time killer, but difficulty spikes quickly from enemy swarms and development stopped early, which limits the content.
