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 colorful but punishing tower defense game that demands careful placement and economic management to survive its deceptive difficulty.

What players say
Players compare it to Kingdom Rush but with added resource management and a skill tree. The campaign is short, around 5-8 hours, and many feel the game was released unfinished with half the upgrade trees inaccessible. Difficulty spikes mid-game, then becomes easy with upgrades. Some report freezing issues.
