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, pixel-art survival game where you frantically build defenses and gun down waves of zombies in a tense struggle to endure.

What players say

Players describe Defend the Fort as a simple top-down zombie shooter, not a tower defense despite the name. The co-op multiplayer is praised, but a few criticize the difficulty even on easy mode, the limited build options, and the lack of a tutorial.
