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 strategic tower defense game that blends real-time tactics with visual novel storytelling, creating a methodical and narrative-paced experience.

What players say

Players praise the quick difficulty ramp and boss fights, but many note the campaign is only 7 missions long. Reviews split on value: some call it a steal at the price, others say it's too short. Humor in the dialogue is a highlight, though lack of a save option frustrates some.
