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 measured, tactical defense game where you carefully prepare and deploy units to hold back the undead.

What players say

Players praise the tactical depth but warn the game is abandoned, with no updates since 2016 and no Windows 11 support. Many report steep difficulty spikes where zombies scale endlessly while player units cap out, making later levels feel unbalanced.
