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

You command bugs in card-based battles that feel like a tactical clash of swarms and spells.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, casual auto-battler with a short campaign of about 4 hours. The core loop of sending insects down three lanes gets repetitive quickly, and only a handful of bugs are available to unlock. Some note a lack of tutorial and unexplained mechanics, while others praise it as fun for kids or fans of the theme.
