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

You build and fortify a mechanical fortress piece by piece, managing resources and upgrading defenses in a continuous loop of preparation and combat.

What players say

Players praise the mix of tower defense and roguelike with a customizable moving fortress, but many criticize the poor UI, inconsistent fonts, and translation issues. Performance scales badly on older machines, and the grid-based movement feels sluggish to some. The story keeps players going despite repetitive underwater visuals.
