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 strategically place turrets and traps while exploring dungeons, combining defensive planning with light puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and soundtrack, and enjoy the mix of tower defense with action and dungeon crawling. But many feel the story mode is unbalanced, forcing trial and error and punishing difficulty spikes on the easiest setting. Some also report game-breaking bugs that block progression.
