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 yet lighthearted cooperative crafting game where players must work together under pressure to forge runes and defend against waves of colorful enemies.

What players say

Players compare Forge Squad to Overcooked but with tower defense elements, praising its cooperative focus where multiple players must work together on a single task. The game is fun and hectic on hard difficulty, though some note rough translation, wonky collision, and dated visuals. Players split on whether controls feel smooth or not.
