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 quirky strategic management game where you build bizarre weapons through experimental disciplines.

What players say

Players describe it as an addictive mix of tower defense and inventory management where you build a single turret from dropped parts, but the heavy RNG and lack of aim control cause frequent frustrating restarts. The game appears abandoned with a silly bug still present.
