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 are divided on this tower defense game where enemy ships shoot back, forcing constant tower repair and rebuilding. Some find the mechanic frustrating while others say it is the intended challenge. A first-person turret mode exists but players report it leaves other towers vulnerable.
