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 arcade simulation of defending a tower as an elite archer, with atmospheric visuals and intense but manageable combat.

What players say

Players describe a first-person tower defense where you shoot bandits from a single tower. They praise the upgrade system but note the shooting is slow and the single map gets repetitive. Some call it difficult, especially early on without upgrades.
