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.

What players say

Players compare this tower defense game to Plants vs Zombies, calling it a lazy clone with little originality. While some appreciate the satire and budget management, others criticize offensive stereotypes and failed humor. Several players report crashes and lost progress, particularly at level 32.
