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 tower-defense experience where you build bases and manage resources against waves of enemies in a medieval fantasy setting.

What players say

Players praise the blend of RTS resource management and tower defense, calling it a refreshing take on the genre. The controls feel clunky and there is no pause button, which frustrates some. Multiplayer is fun, but the game is still bare bones in early access.
