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

You defend a realm by fighting waves of enemies with a mix of melee action and tower defense strategy, solo or with friends.

What players say

Players compare it to Orcs Must Die and Dungeon Defenders, praising the fun combat and loot system. Opinions split on early access polish: some call it surprisingly polished for a solo dev game, while others report progress-wiping bugs and call it abandonware. The developer is described as responsive with quick bug fixes.
