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 tense city-building strategy game where you manage limited resources and defend against waves of enemies using cards and towers.

What players say

Players praise the oldschool autobattler loop but widely say development stopped months ago, leaving it feeling like a demo. They split on whether the fun core loop outweighs the heavy grind, high randomness, and lack of tutorial or balance past the early hours.
