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 tower defense game where you actively build and command vessels while defending against aggressive waves in an open, pathless map.

What players say

Players are split on the UI: some find it deeply confusing, while others say it clicks after a few rounds and becomes part of the game's charm. Co-op is widely praised, and fans appreciate the distinct playstyles of each vessel. Many note the difficulty is high solo but manageable with friends.
