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, defensive struggle where you scramble to fortify a city each night against relentless monster waves, knowing one mistake can end your heroes forever.

What players say

Players love the tactical depth and soundtrack, but many say runs are extremely long and slow, with repetitive grinding through hordes of enemies. Some find the weapon randomness frustrating, while others enjoy the challenge and addictive "one more run" loop.
