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 game where careful placement and modular upgrades are key to overcoming escalating waves.

What players say

Players call it a competent tower defense with long waves and a satisfying progression system that unlocks towers and perks. Reviews note that the ion cannon feels too powerful, stealth enemies become frustrating late-game, and the final map is arbitrarily hard.
