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 calm, thoughtful puzzle-strategy game where you build defenses tile by tile, watching your island grow with each cautious decision.

What players say
Players praise the calm, self-paced gameplay and cute art style, but split on replayability and control polish. Some find the RNG too punishing, while others enjoy the strategic depth in harder modes.
