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 tactical tower defense where players freely design enemy paths and choose distinct classes, making each procedurally generated match feel strategically custom and deliberate.

What players say

Players praise the unique path-building and enemy checkpoint mechanics, but many report game-breaking bugs that freeze progress or crash mid-campaign. Development activity is unclear, with some noting only one of three advertised classes is available and no matchmaking for multiplayer.
