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 charming, low-stakes toy-soldier battle where you build defenses and command cute green troops in a playful, family-friendly war.

What players say

Players nostalgic for toy soldiers find the premise charming and the tower defense gameplay engaging, but many say the game is too short with too few levels. A recurring save-progress bug frustrates players, and some dislike the infant voice and music, while others cite poor balance between towers and fragile infantry as a design flaw.
