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.

What players say

Players are split on Trial of Empires TD. Some enjoy the classic tower defense action and Steam Deck support, but many complain that content is locked behind a paywall for additional allies, the game crashes and needs optimization, and there is only an endless mode with no campaign. Reviews also point out poor balance and scaling costs.
