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 fast-paced strategy game where you frantically build, defend, and hack-and-slash with cute cartoon visuals.

What players say

Players praise the unique mix of tower defense and active platformer action, but many find it extremely difficult after the first few levels. The need to run around collecting souls, triggering traps, and cleaning debuffs during waves divides opinion, with some calling it hectic and others rewarding. Long-time players note development stalled and achievements are bugged.
