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 recommend this short incremental bullet-hell game for its smooth progression and satisfying end-game loop, though some find the ending empty and the late-game visuals harsh on the eyes. Several compare it favorably to Nodebuster, and a few note that certain challenges require looking up optimized builds, which feels odd for a genre typically played for brain-off fun.
