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 tense WWII tower defense where you manage resources and defenses to repel an overwhelming invasion.

What players say

Players say the game has a good atmosphere and price, but is held back by missing quality-of-life features like hotkeys and auto-rebuild. The limited unit selection and long waves make the campaign feel drawn out, and performance takes a hit from large explosions. Reviews are split on whether the content depth justifies the playtime.
