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 laid-back but escalating tower defense where you place towers and endlessly upgrade them while fending off waves of enemies.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a cheap idle numbers-go-up game rather than a real tower defense, but split on whether that is a good thing. The developer stopped responding and the last boss is unkillable, so long-term support is dead.
