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

You command a power-armored commander on an alien battlefield, methodically placing turrets and calling in orbital strikes while the action escalates around you.

What players say

Players are split on this mobile port: some love the nostalgic tower defense gameplay and find it addictive despite dated graphics, while others report serious technical issues including crashes on Windows 11, broken achievements, and lost save files, with multiple reviewers calling it abandonware.
