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 horde survival game where you build increasingly broken spell combinations to overwhelm waves of enemies.

What players say

The game is very difficult, especially at the final stage of the first fire mage. Players enjoy experimenting with combos in short bursts, but some feel build variety is limited and wish they could see the base stats of skills.
