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 small, tense tower defense with retro pixel art and CRT effects, defending a castle from waves of monsters.

What players say

Players describe a simple tower defense like Plants vs. Zombies, but many find it too punishing because there is no way to replace dead units or rebuild lost spots, and you have to click quickly to collect dropped hearts. The game is very short, often finished in an hour, with little reason to replay.
