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 narrative-focused strategy game where you manage resources and lead characters through a story of survival and discovery.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, story, and lore, but warn about late-game softlocks and difficulty spikes that can break progress. The deckbuilding requires careful control builds and keeping cards under 20. The story ends on a cliffhanger.
