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.

What players say

Players describe it as a cute tower defense game with RTS resource gathering that is surprisingly tough. While some enjoy the challenge and compare it to Advance Wars, others find the grinding tedious and the early game boring. Opinions split on whether the difficulty is rewarding or frustrating.
