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 turn-based tactical deckbuilder where you carefully manage enemy recruitment and skill fusion each run.

What players say

Players are split on the core gameplay, some enjoy the SMT-meets-Slay the Spire combat and art, while others find the mechanics confusing and overloaded. However, nearly every review agrees that the developer abandoned the game in 2022 with no updates since, leaving an unfinished product that feels like a proof-of-concept.
