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 Brink of Extinction as a difficult, puzzle-like tower defense game where placement is limited and restarting is common. The campaign takes about five hours to finish, and opinions are split on whether the challenge is rewarding or just frustrating. A solo developer has kept it updated.
