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 casual tower defense game that starts simple and gradually ramps up in challenge as you upgrade your towers to stop swarming ants.

What players say

Players are split on accessibility: some find the UI confusing (no obvious start button, unclear upgrade ladder), while others enjoy the level pacing and enemy variety once they figure it out. The game currently has only three tower types, which limits strategic depth.
