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 tense, strategic tower defense game where you dynamically build a path for enemies and place defenses to repel an alien invasion.

What players say

Players say the tower defense is simple and repetitive, with few maps and a tiresome music loop. The ability to build mazes for enemies is a highlight, but some towers become useless and the final battle relies on trial and error. Lag issues were fixed in a 2017 update, but the game feels abandoned by its developers.
