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 cooperative tower defense where you and up to three friends scramble to gather resources and build defenses against escalating alien waves, demanding tight coordination and quick thinking.

What players say

Players love this as a chaotic co-op tower defense that keeps everyone busy gathering resources and tossing gold, though some dislike the lack of a speed multiplier and the manual labor of picking up coins. Solo play is also praised as a tough puzzle, and opinions split on whether the hands-on mechanics feel engaging or tedious.
