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 methodical and strategic climb where you must cobble together a working defense from random pieces, facing escalating difficulty each run.

What players say

Players say the game is unplayable due to a missing tutorial, unbalanced difficulty, a terrible UI, and no sound or music, making it feel like a pre-pre-alpha build. A few find the concept promising but note development appears abandoned, with no updates expected.
