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 thoughtful card-driven RPG where you build a team, explore procedurally, and overcome dangers through careful strategy.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and art but are split on the gameplay. Many find card stacking and inventory management frustrating, calling it clunky. The story is central, but puzzles and progression often require external guides, especially for multiple endings.
