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 cooperative loop of digging for resources by day and defending against monsters at night, driven by incremental upgrades.

What players say

Players enjoy this short co-op dig-and-defend loop, calling it a fun two-hour time killer with friends. They split on polish: some hit mouse and settings bugs, and several say the late game feels repetitive with too few upgrades.
