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 stripped-down survival loop where each new run drops you into a different season, forcing you to scrounge, build, and endure through ever-changing short days and longer summers.

What players say

Players describe a roguelite tower defense that blends resource gathering with a deep upgrade tree and many item combos. Progression is a common point: some find it first fast then very slow, while others praise the satisfaction of unlocking the right layout. The simple visuals and sound design are noted as strengths, and several wish for co-op.
