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 gather magic resources and construct your wizard tower, balancing growth and defense in a slow, deliberate strategy game.

What players say

Players praise the polished pixel art and satisfying progression, calling it a short, chill incremental game with a definitive ending around 4-7 hours. Some wish for more content, and a few criticise the optional prestige system as useless since you can beat the game without it.
