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 calm, methodical base-building and tower-defense game that feels like a soothing puzzle of resource management and automation.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the resource management and tower defense loop, but many call the game buggy and abandoned. Common complaints include a save system that fails, enemies clipping through walls, tedious power line maintenance, and no updates in over a year. Multiplayer desync goes unfixed, and several players say the free Vectorio Classic is better.
