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 methodical build-and-defend loop where you place towers, recruit heroes, and fend off waves of alien invaders with strategic planning.

What players say

Players enjoy the twist of building enemy paths themselves, mixing tower defense with roguelike randomness. Gold is tight, forcing careful choices. Many praise the strategic depth but note rough UI, janky controls, and late-game lag. Opinions split on whether the difficulty is fair or too random.
