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 stressfully strategic tower defense where you delay waves through clever terrain interaction, not combat.

What players say

Players praise the experimental twist on tower defense, where you delay a single zombie until a timer runs out. The game is short and easy, making it suitable for children, but lacks variety. It is single-player only.
