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 fast-paced, competitive mage duel where spoken commands drive chaotic spell-slinging battles.

What players say

Players agree the core idea of voice-controlled magic combat is fun, especially with friends, but the game is considered abandoned. Development stalled after over a year in early access, the player count dropped to near-zero, and a promised sequel was cancelled. Many also report frequent crashes and a toxic community.
