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 lighthearted tower defense where you organize brave forest animals to protect a decorated Christmas tree from cartoonish villains.

What players say

Players describe it as a Plants vs Zombies clone where you uncover snow mounds for allies or enemies, with heavy randomness deciding success. Reviews split on whether the simplistic idea is charming or a waste. Those who spend more time note grindy achievements and unpredictable difficulty past level 30.
