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.

A lighthearted action-adventure where casual strategy meets playful beast-herding.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but are split on the gameplay. Some enjoy the strategic puzzle-like levels with wave restarting, while others find the progression grindy with forced backtracking for upgrades. Boss fights shift to frantic action, which divides opinion. A common complaint is that the ballista tower outperforms others, limiting strategy.
