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 praise the core idea of a moving tower defense with roguelike upgrades, but many say poor balance forces them into one viable build while upgrades like the hawk or sparks miss constantly. The game is short and gets repetitive once everything is unlocked, with an aim-heavy difficulty that ramps up suddenly.
