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 real-time strategy game where you tactically use terrain and height differences to build and defend a tower, with a mysterious, story-rich medieval fantasy narrative.

What players say

Players are split on BURGGEIST. Some find the tower-defense action-RPG mix boring and controls clunky, while others love the unique feel and satisfying movement, especially once movement spells unlock. The scope feels limited and the dummy AI requires constant management.
