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 casual and accessible tower defense game with a lighthearted wild west theme, hand-crafted visuals, and a pinch of humor.

What players say

Players praise the western atmosphere and solid tower defense gameplay, but say the early access version offers only six maps for now. Some note the controls feel touchy, while others enjoy the perk reset system and hidden easter eggs that add replayability.
