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 goofy, cartoonish tower defense romp where you manage mutant plants to fend off comically menacing boars

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call this a low-effort Plants vs. Zombies clone with clunky performance, poor graphics, and no randomness or charm. A few enjoy the simple tower defense and quirky premise, but most describe it as boring and soulless.
