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 quick, retro-styled strategy game with automated army production and fast-forward speeds, creating a frantic but simple tactical pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a strategy game that mixes tower defense with territory control, where units auto-spawn and march on their own. The difficulty spikes come from map positioning, and speed controls keep the pace snappy, though some find the graphics too basic.
