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 lighthearted tower defense game with colorful visuals, cute characters, and strategic card-based upgrades that make each run feel fresh and adaptive.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of traditional tower defense with roguelike randomness and a humorously surreal school theme. There is only one map, but random upgrades and a controllable drone keep runs fresh. Some note that tower stats are not shown and a crash near wave 80 on endless mode bothers long runs.
