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-style shooter where the absurd premise and dark humor drive frantic, fast-paced gameplay as you defend a target from endless waves.

What players say

Players are mostly joking about a game where you defend an egg from sperm, but they do report it is very short with around five levels and gets hard quickly. The highest difficulty spawns hundreds of millions of targets and tests your sanity. Reviews are split on whether it is a serious challenge or just a silly mini-game.
