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 cute, colorful turn-based simulation RPG where you strategically defend a whimsical garden kingdom with explosive botanicals.

What players say

A shallow and very short tactics game, finishable in 1 to 6 hours. Its one neat idea is chain-reacting explosive vegetables, but players are split on whether the game is fun enough to outweigh its poor controls, a brief campaign, and a noticeable phone-port feel.
