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

It feels like a colorful, humorous strategy game that mixes real-time base building and tower defense with a classic, crunchy challenge.

What players say

Players describe a single long mission that blends tower defense, base building, and resource management. The game is praised for its flexible movable buildings and deep tech tree, but many find it tedious and note the narrator interrupts gameplay too often.
