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 tense and strategic blend of nurturing and survival, where you raise predatory plants to defend against a hostile, overgrown world.

What players say

Players compare it to Into the Breach with a progression system, and enjoy dropping in for short sessions. They praise the satisfying suplex attacks that push enemies into hazards, the plant puns, and the variety of unlockable plants. A single Chinese-language review reports unplayably slow performance due to a broken translation.
