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.

What players say

Players praise the dual-perspective mix of top-down tower defense and first-person action, comparing it favorably to Orcs Must Die. Many note creative use of Chinese Qimen mechanisms to alter terrain and enemy paths. However, optimization is consistently criticized, with frequent stuttering even on high-end GPUs. A few report settings fail to save between sessions.
