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 frantic top-down survival game where you and friends fight endless monster hordes, craft gear, and build defenses in a pixelated fantasy world.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy the co-op and pixel art, while others report no save system, material loss between maps, clunky controls, and an unpolished tower defense loop. The developer has been responsive to feedback.
