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

Running a haunted library where every battle is a tense, strategic stage play that rewards careful deckbuilding and punishes mistakes.

What players say

Players praise the story, art, and worldbuilding, and many call it one of the best deckbuilders because it is not a roguelike. The combat is seen as RNG-dependent and requires reading enemy passives, with some players frustrated by the grind for unlocks. The game is no longer receiving updates, and long-time fans find the wiki humor-filled.
