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 yet playful crafting spree where you quickly mash together anything in sight to build comical defenders while a visual-novel story unfolds.

What players say

Players describe it as a visual novel with a golem-building minigame, not a deep crafting sim. They praise the writing, characters and story twists, but split on whether the puzzle elements hold up without turning off the timer.
