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

This game feels like a relaxing, luck-driven auto-battler where strategic card placement with minimal input determines success.

What players say

Players compare it to Luck Be a Landlord and Balatro, calling it a fun but shallow slot-machine roguelite. They split on depth: some find it addictive with tons of content, while others say it gets boring. Criticisms include a mobile-port feel, poor English translation, and no deck customization.
