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 light, rhythmic clicking session where you sweep your cursor over a growing swarm of fish in time with the music, chasing bigger numbers with simple tools.

What players say

Short enough to 100% in two to three hours, players call it satisfying and easy to finish in a sitting. The rhythm-driven sound and visuals draw people in, but upgrades feel railroaded, with nearly every run handing you money for about one purchase and little difference between good and bad runs. The species and research systems are rarely explained, and one player lost their save.
