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 tactical real-time strategy game where you command cute anime girls to defend towers in challenging, fast-paced battles.

What players say

Players praise the massive cast and the satisfaction of building a dream team without gacha, but they are split on the grinding: some find it tedious while others accept it since the game lets you edit save files. The strategy is described as a tower offense with no random elements, where trial and error is key. Development has stalled, with updates stopping and some features left unfinished.
