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 simple, humorous arcade brawler where you repeatedly fight ninjas with a single button to avoid paying for food.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple one-button reflex clicker where timing is everything, clicking too early or too late kills you. Reviewers consistently call the gameplay repetitive and shallow, with some comparing it to a mobile or Flash game. The hand-drawn art is praised, but most find the loop too boring to hold attention for long.
