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 soothing tower defense game where you nurture a forest and defend it with rhythmic upgrades, designed to help you unwind before sleep.

What players say

Players describe a short, calming tower defense with beautiful visuals, but note a sharp difficulty spike at wave 6. The game feels like a bare-bones proof-of-concept, with minor bugs and missing menu features.
