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 fast-paced tower defense where you manage persistent tactical choices across a campaign with varied enemy types and spells.

What players say

Players appreciate the area control mechanic and persistent campaign map, but many find the early game slow and hit a frustrating difficulty spike, especially with spider swarms that overwhelm defenses. The progression is heavily gated, and reviewers are split on whether the unique conquest system makes up for the uneven challenge.
