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 bright and lively mix of tower defense and roguelite strategy where you command a team of adorable pixel-art heroines in fast, tactical battles.

What players say

Players control up to five characters simultaneously in a blend of tower defense and real-time strategy, but the AI is so unreliable they must constantly micro-manage each unit. The game has only three stages and no fast-forward, making replays feel like a grind, and though the pixel art is cute, the story and enemy variety are thin.
