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 cartoonish, physics-driven VR fantasy where you bash goblins with a hammer and place traps in a playful, arcade-like tower defense.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying melee combat, especially the physics-based hammer bonking, and the way it blends tower defense with active fighting. The sentiment is split on content, with many noting only 4 maps but high replayability through difficulty levels, while others say development stopped.
