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 short, methodical incremental game where you systematically eliminate the world's population through capturing and processing victims.

What players say

Players say this incremental game about engineered extinction is short, taking 4 to 6 hours, and rewards constant clicking over idle play. Some find the genocide theme uncomfortable, and most agree there is little reason to replay it once done.
