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

You methodically manage time between frantic waves of monsters, digging pixel-art alien worlds for resources to upgrade your dome's defenses.

What players say

Players love the core loop of mining for upgrades and defending on a timer, calling it addictive and relaxing yet stressful. Many praise the co-op addition and soundtrack, but some find runs repetitive or hurt by bad RNG on resources and bugs.
