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 scramble to build walls and train troops while fending off waves of zombies, leveling up heroes for an escalating fight.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a cheap cash-in or a hidden gem. Many call it an idle tower defense with minimal strategy, a clunky interface, and a lot of grinding for upgrades. Some praise the addictive loop for the price, while others complain of broken localization, bugs that block progress, and unreasonable scaling that forces hours of repetition.
