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 methodical turn-based puzzle of positioning and synergy where you slowly build a monster-slaying army.

What players say

Players praise the autobattler gameplay and presentation, but nearly all agree that content runs thin quickly, with runs feeling samey due to few unit types. Grinding for achievements is heavy. Some note the game was abandoned by its developers.
