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, atmospheric tower defense where you methodically build defenses against a creeping organic corruption in a desolate sci-fi colony.

What players say
Players praise the unique block-based tower construction and compare it to Creeper World, but opinions split on the timed day/night cycle some find it panic-inducing while others enjoy the frantic pace. The campaign runs roughly 8 hours with a steep difficulty spike in new game plus.
