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 methodical tower defense where failure and retrying pushes you to experiment with modular placements.

What players say

Players praise the modular tower system but say the game is a grind-fueled smartphone port where only laser towers matter after finding the right module, which makes late levels repetitive. Some find it too hard, others say progress stalls without grinding crystals, and a few report broken achievements.
