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, strategic tower-defense loop where each run layers random upgrades into escalating defensive builds against relentless dark hordes.

What players say

Players call it a laid-back take on the genre, a line defense roguelite where you mostly watch auto-fighting towers while picking upgrades, so it suits a second monitor or low-energy sessions. The meta upgrade tree is shallow and progress is slow, and late runs can hit a damage wall, but most still recommend it as a fun, relaxing pick.
