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, tactical tabletop-like fantasy conflict with a looming clock, where you must outmaneuver rivals to claim relics on a world map.

What players say

Players praise the chess-like combat mixed with card mechanics and board game aesthetic, but many find it gets repetitive and the magic cards feel boring. Reviews warn that normal difficulty is quite hard and there is no undo button, while the game is considered good value at its price.
