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

A tense tower defense game where you build cannons and use secret weapons to repel an unrelenting enemy fleet.

What players say

Players describe this as a very basic naval tower defense game that is fun in short bursts but becomes repetitive. The difficulty spikes sharply around level 7, and completing levels on different difficulties does not carry over progress, making progression feel grindy.
