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 high-pressure typing defense game where you frantically type phrases and words to build units and hold off relentless robot waves.

What players say

Players enjoy mixing typing with tower defense but split on difficulty: some find even easy levels too hard, while others appreciate the challenge. Reviews note you cannot navigate menus with the keyboard, resource management matters more than typing speed, and achievements require completing the hardest difficulty.
