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 call this a love letter to Plants vs Zombies that expands on ideas from the mobile PvZ Adventures. The core tower defense loop gets praise for its hectic feel and unique twist where the player defends themselves instead of a static base, though some note it is unoptimized on weaker computers and the sound design has flaws.
