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 frantic, colorful first-person tower defense FPS where you scramble to set traps and turrets between waves of alien boarders, mixing rogue-lite upgrades with the constant pressure of defending a fleeing spaceship.

What players say

Players say SENTRY plays more like a first-person shooter than a tower defense, with only two traps and little agency over waves. The shotgun sentry outclasses everything else. Co-op lacks matchmaking and runs often stretch for hours, making repetition a problem even for those who find it fun.
