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 methodical blend of deck-building and auto-chess where you assemble teams and adapt strategies while exploring procedurally generated worlds.

What players say

Players describe it as a creative fusion of auto-chess and Slay the Spire-style deckbuilding, with short runs of ten to thirty minutes. Many note that battles rely more on unit synergy than positioning, and the card system adds tactical depth. Several reviews report bugs and unfinished features, especially around reward selection and UI, while praising the core concept.
