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

You methodically build and expand a production line to generate defensive towers, exploring a procedurally generated map while unlocking permanent upgrades between attempts.

What players say

Players praise the original idea of blending factory automation with tower defense, calling it a fresh take on both genres. They admire that a single developer is behind it and note the difficulty scales well. A few report crashes that lose progress, and some wish for smarter belt-splitter controls.
