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 deliberate, minimalist strategy game where you carefully place defenses while a mysterious king observes your every move.

What players say
Players praise the unique mix of tower defense, autobattler, and resource management, calling it addictive and highly replayable. Opinions split on difficulty: some find the progression grindy and note weak unit balance, while others say it's rewarding. A few report performance problems leading to crashes.
