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 tense, methodical base-defense side-scroller where careful planning and scouting decide survival in a pixelated wasteland.

What players say

Players call it a Kingdom-like strategy game with base defense and a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere for a post-apocalyptic setting. The pixel art is widely praised, and while the game deliberately gives little information, players find figuring things out rewarding. Development is active with frequent updates, though the camera system keeps changing and some performance issues remain.
