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 strategic tower-defense RPG where you carefully position and upgrade individual characters, balancing real-time action with tactical planning in a story-driven, retro-styled adventure.

What players say
Players praise the writing and story as the highlight, calling it engaging with good characters. Some report random crashes, especially when hiring heroes, though autosaves and OpenGL mode help.
