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, card-driven action game where you build crazy decks and towers to mow down waves of gnomes with a lighthearted, arcade feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the deck-building mechanics and the variety of builds, though they note the difficulty spikes sharply between bosses, with the snake boss singled out as much harder than others. The lack of a save feature is a point of discussion, accepted by some but frustrating to others, and the game is seen as good value for its price.
