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 slow-building defensive survival where you gradually automate turrets to hold off an escalating threat.

What players say

Players call it a fun but short idle defense game where autoaim lets it play itself, and many finish in a few hours. Some praise the prestige system's boss drops, while others find runs repetitive and say the demo already shows most of the content.
