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 methodical and strategic tower defense game where you build and upgrade defenses against alien waves, with a mild difficulty curve and a retro, atmospheric feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the game as a quick, casual tower defense experience, but note that tower options are few and the late game becomes repetitive with a single optimal strategy. A reviewer warns the mobile version is heavily monetized and grindy, while the PC version avoids that and is considered decent value.
