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 strategic tower-defense game where you quickly build and adapt defenses each wave against evolving enemies, balancing resource management under pressure.

What players say

Players enjoy the hex-based tower defense concept and the roguelike artifacts, but many find the difficulty poorly tuned. Enemies attack from all directions and tower range is too small to keep up, making the game tedious past wave 20 and trivial on normal difficulty once upgraded. Performance issues appear after placing hundreds of towers.
