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 modest, tactical survival game about defending a base through resource gathering and upgrades, with a clear day-night cycle and a growing monster threat.

What players say

Players describe this as a decent free student project with satisfying shooting and good music, but widespread performance issues and a heavy GPU requirement frustrate many. Reviews are split: some enjoy it as a base defense time-waster, while others find it too difficult, grindy, or buggy beyond day 40, with progression-breaking issues like lost saves and an ammo box bug.
