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 cycle of daytime construction and resource gathering that gives way to tense nighttime combat against hostile robots.

What players say

Players are split on this indie RTS tower defense hybrid. Many enjoy the humor and DNA fusion mechanics, but complaints focus on clunky controls, missing tooltips, and hard-to-read text. The game is often called repetitive but worth picking up on sale.
