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 tense first-person sentry defense game where you manage resources and deploy strategic defenses against relentless enemy waves while confronting the ethical stakes of autonomous weapons.

What players say

Players call it a short, clunky tower defense game made by one person. They warn of frustrating no-save design, clueless turret AI, and a few cite unskippable cutscenes or a controversial ending. Some admire its intensity, while others say it feels abandoned after 2022.
