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, low-stakes incremental game where you steadily power up a single cannon to wipe out waves of enemies.

What players say

Players note that despite being labeled a short incremental game, the skill tree unlocks fast and each run delivers satisfying dopamine spikes. Some find it tiring to play, but the price is widely praised for the value. The demo save transfer is a nice bonus.
