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

Playing Towerix91 feels like tinkering with a vintage computer game, carefully planning crystal upgrades while waves of enemies march in a slow, methodical rhythm.

What players say

A short tower defense game with a nostalgic Windows 91-style interface that players complete in about two to three hours. The upgrade system ties gold for run upgrades and crystals for permanent ones, but players are split on difficulty, with many finding it too easy once upgrades are maxed out.
