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

Feels like a low-stakes, automated tower defense where you casually place heroes and watch them fight endless waves of zombies with occasional flashy spell effects.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the idle tower defense loop and pixel art, but many others warn of aggressive monetization, a nonfunctional PvP mode, and upgrades that feel pointless. The game is often described as a cheap reskin of other idle TD games by the same developer.
