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.

What players say

Players describe T-Minus 30 as a fast-paced city builder compressed into 30-minute runs, perfect for a coffee break. The game is easy to learn but some find it too simple and repetitive after a few maps, with little strategic depth beyond rapid clicking. Players are split on replayability: some enjoy chasing high scores on random maps, while others feel content runs out quickly.
