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 low-stakes tower defense where you build card-based defenses against waves of viruses in a futuristic cyberspace setting.

What players say

Players are split on this game. Many say it lacks strategy because you control only one tower you cannot place, making victory feel luck-based. A few find the deck-building twist addictive, but critics call it a feature-starved grind with little variety between runs.
