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 methodical and tense blend of action and strategy where you set traps and ambushes against overwhelming foes in a frozen, atmospheric folktale

What players say

Players praise the blend of tower defense and third-person action, emphasizing trap-based strategy over brute force. Many mention a slow start that grows very difficult, while others note repetitive combat and some control issues. There is a notable faction still hoping for a sequel a decade later.
