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 yet strategic card-based tower defense game with fast-paced, real-time battles and procedurally generated challenges.

What players say

Players praise the game's charming cat art and clever blend of tower defense with card mechanics, but many find the survival mode unexpectedly hard and demanding careful resource management. There are complaints about clunky card sorting, no keyboard shortcuts for some actions, and a few useless card types.
