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 methodical, tense loop of daytime exploration and nightly defence where every choice of tower and resource sacrifice feels carefully weighed.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of tower defense with map exploration and rogue-lite unlocks, but they are split on difficulty, some find it relaxing, others call the mid-run boss a dealbreaker. Recurring complaints mention unclear mechanics like Mana, basic tower variety, and AI-generated art, while the developer gets credit for responsive updates.
