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 tense, methodical tower defense where crafting and combining gems leads to strategic depth against relentless waves.

What players say
Players praise the deep gem combining and customization, but split on the grind: some love the endless content and challenge, others find levels too alike and a few later stages impossibly hard.
