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 quick, arcade-style shoot-and-run through a procedurally generated web, where you steal data to upgrade and push further each time.

What players say

Players call it highly addictive and praise the upgrade system that makes progress feel rewarding, though they note a steep learning curve and frustrating moments where one mistake sends you back. The simple fling mechanic and leaderboard competition keep them coming back for more.
