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

Tactical rhythm of purifying during daylight and tense defensive battles at night against supernatural foes, all steeped in Japanese mythology and ritual.

What players say

Players praise the unique blend of tower defense, action, and RTS, saying the active combat keeps you engaged rather than idle. The art and music are widely celebrated. Some find it easy, and the true ending requiring a second playthrough divides opinion.
