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 lighthearted but grimly comic tile-matching defense game where you protect a troll home from waves of heroes with a chuckle.

What players say

Players praise it as a faithful tribute to the mobile classic Dungeon Raid, using line-drawing matching instead of standard tile swapping. Some find progress and variety stall after about seven hours, while others enjoy it as a simple time-killer.
