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 cerebral, small-scale space battle game where careful positioning and relic synergies matter more than raw numbers.

What players say

Players praise the quick, addictive runs and deep item combinations that keep them coming back even after unlocking everything. They compare it favorably to a mobile tower-defense style puzzle, and note that while it is hard, the many difficulty options make it approachable.
