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.

What players say

Players say the campaign is short, taking 2 to 4 hours, and depth wears thin after a few hours. Bugs are frequent, especially on bridge maps and in the zombie mode, though the zombie mode also gets praise for being classic fun. The mix of tower defense and RTS elements feels engaging while it lasts, and the cartoon art style and WWII setting add charm.
