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 frantic 2D tower defense where you scramble to place defenses and shoot waves of pixel-art monsters across global cities.

What players say

Players agree that the character-based tower defense is fun in concept but plagued by bugs that never get patched, and some report virus false positives or broken saves. Enthusiasm is tempered by repetitive late-game ease and a lack of updates since launch.
