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 strategic blend of tower defense and auto-battler mechanics where you manage factions, upgrades, and economy to fend off monster hordes.

What players say

Players praise the blend of autobattler and tower defense mechanics, saying it is compelling despite heavy randomness that can break runs. A tower freeze bug, the need to keep unused towers for upgrades, and lack of meta progression frustrate many, while others enjoy the risk-reward of random tower choices.
