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 quick, elegant tactical puzzle where you deploy formations against waves of enemies on a procedurally shifting grid.

What players say
Players praise BrainGoodGames' take on a chess-like board game where you capture temples to score points, calling it simple to learn but strategically deep. They note matches last 5 to 10 minutes and praise the randomized maps, cards, and increasing difficulty ladder for replayability, though some find the game too simplistic or RNG-heavy, and many mention it has no multiplayer.
