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 bright, whimsical card battler where you juggle turn-based tactics and deckbuilding to save magic with a quirky crew.

What players say

Players praise the creative debate-based combat and cozy atmosphere, but some find the original music mixed and note that enemy scaling can outpace healing. The campaign is around 7–8 hours and the story is a clear climate change allegory. Reviews split on the music: several love the licensed lofi tracks, while others turn it off due to bugs that reset the setting on reload.
