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

You strategically build and upgrade towers to defend floating lands from relentless monster hordes, blending roguelike progression with real-time tactical pressure.

What players say

Players describe a Tower Defense roguelite with only 4 levels, endless waves, and a grindy stat upgrade system. Many say it feels abandoned in early access, with no sound effects, repetitive music, and performance that drops badly after wave 75. A few find it a chill game to relax with, but more call it too expensive for what is there.
