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 laid-back tower defense where you watch heroes grind away while gradually unlocking bigger numbers and strategic upgrades.

What players say
Players call it more idle game than tower defense, focused on repeating maps for incremental hero boosts. The monetization is the main complaint: microtransactions are aggressive and some basic features are locked behind paywalls, though a few long-time players find the grind tolerable if they ignore the store.
