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 minimalist, strategic tower defense game where each short run invites another attempt through roguelike unlocks and escalating difficulty.

What players say
Players praise the freedom to build and maze the map, but say the progression ends quickly since everything unlocks after a few runs. The difficulty is polarizing, either too easy or frustratingly hard, and some find the runs too long for the payoff. A few note the DLC feels needed for the full experience.
