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 arena shooter where you juggle fast reflexes with careful turret placement to survive endless waves of enemies.

What players say

Players enjoy the game's simple mix of FPS and tower defense in randomized arenas, but nearly all agree it lacks content and feels repetitive. Many call it abandoned by the developers, and controls are criticized for being stiff. Players split on recommending it: fair for the low price, but not worth more than a few short sessions.
