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 lighthearted, strategically adaptable tower defense where each session feels fresh due to procedurally shifting paths and randomized placement.

What players say

Players love the charming pixel art and the twist of using cute dogs as towers, which adds personality. The roguelite structure with procedural maps and endless mode keeps it fresh, though some find it grindy and note that the limited placement spots reduce strategic depth.
