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 chopping loop that fades into a satisfying climb of upgrades and unlocks.

What players say

Players describe a short, roughly one and a half to two hour incremental game about frenetic woodcutting with bees. They praise the escalating pace and satisfying unlocks, noting it ends before the grind sets in, though some wish it were longer.
