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 typing exercise disguised as a medieval tower defense, where you frantically type words to fire a ballista at cartoonish bandits.

What players say

Players split on this cheap typing game: some find it fun for stress relief and quick achievement hunting, while others call it unbalanced and boring. A common observation is the difficulty spikes hard around wave 15 but then flattens, letting skilled typists play indefinitely with no end in sight.
