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 compare the card battles to Hearthstone Battlegrounds, but many find the UI clunky and the lack of an overview map frustrating. The game is addictive early on, but balance and limited viable builds become a problem, with players split on whether the odd story and translation add charm or annoyance.
