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 tower defense game that demands careful planning and quick adaptation against increasingly intelligent alien foes.

What players say

Players praise the strategic tower customization with independent skill trees and branching mission paths, but many note the game feels abandoned without updates since 2015, has impossible achievements, and suffers from a zoomed-in view and clunky UI.
