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 lightweight tower defense that mixes strategic maze-building with rogue-lite progression, cycling through randomized doors and incremental upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the Warcraft 3 Wintermaul-style mazing and the rogue-lite upgrades between rounds, but agree the game feels bare bones and lacks depth. Several reviews note you cannot lose if you know how to juggle enemies. Some say development stalled after mid-2022, while others report the developer was responsive early on.
