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 silly and fast-paced brawler where you learn moves by smacking enemies, set ridiculous traps, and manage a quirky workshop while defending your house.

What players say

Players describe a bizarre and janky mashup of tower defense and beat em up, with mini games that change the formula. Many note the developer's presence in the story and praise the unique, addictive experience, though the gameplay takes time to click.
