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.

You carefully place components and upgrade them with earned currency to defend against increasingly tough waves of viruses.

What players say

Players praise the creative motherboard theme and visual upgrades, with many highlighting its Brazilian indie origin and nods to classic N64 style. However, some find 60 waves per level with manual repairs repetitive, and a few note the difficulty plateaus once you have store upgrades.
