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 tense real-time strategy game where you frantically build and defend a growing hexagonal base against relentless waves of enemies, forcing constant adaptation and exploration.

What players say

Players enjoy the core tower defense loop and its roguelite progression, but nearly everyone reports severe performance issues that make longer sessions unplayable. The game has not been updated in months, leading many to consider it abandoned. Players also criticize the heavy grind and excessive randomness.
