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 fast, intense tower defense roguelite where each defeat fuels your climb, blending strategic upgrades with fleeting power-ups in a cycle of challenge and progression.

What players say

Players finish in 2 to 5 hours and say the gameplay is shallow, with an idle mode that essentially plays itself. The upgrade system feels basic and consumables become mandatory near the end, making the final waves tedious rather than strategic.
