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 methodical roguelike tower defense where you mine underground resources then build defenses against waves.

What players say

Players say the mining-and-defense loop is addictive once the early confusion passes, but many find the game unfinished. The tutorial is missing, objectives are unclear, and a single overpowered tower can break the difficulty. Enemies and strategy options are limited, making each run feel repetitive.
