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 relaxing yet tactical tower defense experience where you level up evolving champions through randomized waves.

What players say

Players are split. Some praise it as a solid old-school TD with a great solo developer, while others call it abandoned and unfinished. A major criticism is that most maps can be beaten by upgrading just one tower, and players report you cannot afford the top-tier upgrades even if you focus on a single champion in the longest missions.
