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 tower defense game where you strategically place and combine gems to defend against waves with a mix of RPG elements and arcade modes.

What players say

Players like the unique maze-building and gem-combining mechanics, but many find the game repetitive with no progression or story ending. Performance is poor on older hardware, and some call it an asset flip resembling a mobile game. The game is free, so opinions are mixed.
