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 strategic rhythm of building and defending as your factory autonomously deploys golems against encroaching shadows.

What players say

Players say it's easy to pick up but develops satisfying depth. Many describe an addictive 'one more try' loop. The Japanese translation is confusing enough to make the game stressful for some. Performance slows in endless mode after wave 40.
