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 tense, precision-focused simulator where you must lead your shots and calculate intercepts against fast-moving aerial targets.

What players say

Players are split on this simplistic artillery game. Some enjoy the old-school arcade feel of shooting down rockets, especially with the Ukraine air defense theme. Others criticize the lack of basic PC features like resolution options, grindy progression, and expensive power-ups.
