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 strategic deck-building sports sim that feels methodical and competitive as you build and customize a fighter from the ground up.

What players say

Players see this as a decent card-based MMA game ruined by bugs, a grindy progression, and no real multiplayer. Some enjoy the clever deck-building and short-burst fun, while others accuse the developer of abandoning it despite a 2024 update.
