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 methodical turn-based strategy game where you carefully manage resources and counter enemy units across lane-based combat.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun but shallow lane-based tower defense game similar to Plants vs Zombies, with unit variety and spells. Many crash repeatedly after a few hours, making the game unplayable for some. Opinions split on whether the low price justifies the short campaign and lack of multiplayer, with several noting that strategy becomes repetitive once a winning tactic is found.
