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

Commanding a goofy crew through frantic bug waves by scavenging and building defenses feels like a chaotic but lighthearted strategy rush.

What players say

Players praise the tower defense-meets-RTS gameplay and the funny comic-book story with good voice acting. The campaign is short, around 5-7 hours, and most find it easy. Some dislike the cynical endings, calling them a letdown.
