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 cute but frantic arcade defender where you quickly use special powers to fend off virus hordes that turn cells into enemies.

What players say

Players praise it as a fun, challenging arcade game with cute 8-bit visuals and a bouncy soundtrack. The early difficulty is notable, but unlocking new defenders shifts the strategy. Some reviewers connect the defend-the-cells premise to pandemic-era escapism.
