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 typing game where you manage an undead army by casting spells through keyboard input, balancing speed and accuracy under pressure.

What players say

Players love the simple, satisfying loop of raising an undead army by typing, but many find the game too short and too easy once they type fast, with no speed-up option to fix the lengthy downtime. The tower defense mode is a highlight, though the campaign can be finished in a few hours.
