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 frantic hero-defense game where you manage randomly summoned heroes, grind for loot, and carefully avoid permadeath across 11 stages.

What players say

Players describe it as a janky but addictive hero tower defense that feels like a Warcraft 3 custom map. It has 20 unique heroes with abilities, but the balance is off and tooltips are often incorrect. Players split on whether the slow pace and randomness are charming or frustrating, and many note development seems abandoned by the studio.
