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 brisk, repetitive clicking session where progress is measured by methodically wiping out viral threats behind a defense system.

What players say

A short incremental wave shooter where you guard a stationary turret and pick off enemies, beatable in roughly one to three hours. Players call it polished and relaxing with a retro monitor look, though several say progression stays linear and later waves get too easy. A few hit a steep difficulty spike early on before upgrades start clicking.
