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 whimsical strategic tower defense where you set traps to defend a dwarven city from a cartoonish invading army.

What players say

Players are split on this tower defense game. Some find it a simple fun time waster, while others call it a boring mobile port with static backgrounds and grindy gameplay. The trap-based mechanic and lack of microtransactions are noted, but the experience is inconsistent.
