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 strategic turn-based tower defense game where each attempt pushes you deeper into corrupted lands, balancing resource gathering and tower upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the resource management and addictive loop but split on heavy RNG and luck dependency. Some report game-breaking bugs that corrupt saves, while others note the developer is responsive. The roguelite progression forces repeated losses to unlock essential buildings.
