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 tense, atmospheric side-scrolling strategy game where you carefully manage resources and time during the day to survive increasingly hostile nights.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, atmospheric music, and say the game is much longer than the initial impression suggests, around 10 hours. It plays like a mix of tower defense and exploration similar to Kingdom, but with its own mechanics. Some find the controls a bit slow and the tutorial information-dense, and note that a corrupter spawning late in a level can wipe out progress.
