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 carefully build and upgrade defenses to hold back relentless robot waves, balancing resource management with quick tactical decisions.

What players say

Players praise it as a VR tower defense that feels like looking at a miniature model on the floor, with an adjustable scale. They note a steep difficulty spike on level 5, even on easy, and some had graphical issues that developers fixed within weeks.
