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 relaxed wave-defense action game where you gather runes and upgrade magical crystals with the help of a clever fox.

What players say

Players describe Runebound Bastion as a dynamic tower defense where you actively run around helping defend, not just place towers. They praise the unique crystal upgrade system and the ability to move towers while they fire, but some find the pacing unbalanced and resource economy too tight.
