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 survival where a single shot evolves into chaotic neon destruction as you dodge and flap through relentless waves.

What players say

Players describe it as Flappy Bird meets Vampire Survivors, relying on single-button Y-axis movement. Runs last roughly 1 to 10 minutes and feel luck-dependent on upgrades, though skilled players can top the hard leaderboard. There is no outside progression beyond achievement unlocks and one carried passive.
