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 tense, tactical wizard duel where every spell choice and moment of timing matters, with the constant pressure of permadeath pushing you to refine your strategy.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging tactical dueling game where you manage a mage's spells in real time, not an army. There is heavy disagreement on whether the game is balanced or simply expects a narrow winning strategy. Long-time fans are nostalgic but note the developer no longer supports it.
