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 space-themed incremental game where you manage crew morale and action speed, balancing risk and reward in a loop of short, tense runs.

What players say

Players praise the unique progression that speeds up as you invest, but some find the midgame becomes grindy and highly active. A minority dislike the use of generative AI and note the game is short without much depth or developer support past 2024.
