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 fast-paced strategic mix of tower defense and hack-and-slash action, set in a gothic fantasy world where you set vicious traps and fight alongside allies.

What players say

Players describe the game as a mix of tower defense and action RPG, but are split on whether the execution works. Some find the tower placement restrictions and management clunky, while others enjoy the formula. The base campaign takes roughly five hours, and long-time players note the lack of new content or a sequel since release.
