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 frantic, tactical scramble to set traps and scavenge materials before waves of monsters overwhelm you.

What players say

Players are split on Tunnel of Doom's blend of tower defense and dungeon crawling. Some enjoy the unique premise and atmosphere, but many find the combat clunky, resources too scarce, and enemies respawning in cleared rooms frustrating. The campaign is short, roughly two hours, with little replay value.
