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 casual, thinking-at-your-own-pace blend of merging and tower defense where you steadily build up defenses and adapt to incoming monster waves.

What players say

Players consistently call the pace slow, and many say paying is the only way to move faster. Reviewers also report that gear vanishes after quitting, and that there is no window mode, with the game pausing when minimized. Some say everything can be unlocked without spending.
