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 tense, methodical real-time tactics game about holding ground against escalating enemy waves.

What players say
Players praise this small-scale tactical tower defense game for its realistic tone and squad management, comparing it to Men of War. They enjoy moving troops around the map and customizing squads, but opinions split on difficulty: some find it addictively challenging, while others say it becomes impossible to progress, a design choice the developer defends.
