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, story-driven tower defense game where players defend against comical cow-viking conflicts in early access.

What players say

Players say the game has a charming concept and funny storytelling, but it was abandoned unfinished in early access. The gameplay is split: some find it fun, others call it bafflingly difficult and repetitive, with design quirks like preset tower slots and a tedious click-to-put-out-fires mechanic.
