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

You methodically place and manage a variety of turrets to intercept and destroy enemy convoys in a tactical, military-themed defense scenario.

What players say

Players enjoy the arcade tower defense loop but find it gets repetitive and too easy once upgrades pile up. Many note the camera is restrictive and enemies lack distinction. Players split on value, some say it is cheap fun, a few report a progression-blocking bug on later maps.
