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 grim, strategic card battler where you manage resources and explore a dark world through event-driven travel between runs.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraftian atmosphere and art, but opinions split on the grind and balance. Some find the travel deck mechanic and story progression clever, others call fights unfair and characters unbalanced. The full Ukrainian localization and voice acting are widely appreciated.
