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, strategic deckbuilder where you carefully manage resources and cards to banish demons.

What players say

Players praise the visual design and writing, but are split on the gameplay. The most common complaints are a game-breaking bug with the Pact ability and little replayability due to a small shared card pool. Long-time players say development stalled with no patches in 2026.
