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 lighthearted, strategic card game where you build and watch automated battles unfold in a colorful, whimsical universe.

What players say

Players enjoy the quick, short rounds and the tactical depth from pairing two heroes with distinct skills. They note the game uses recorded player data for matchmaking rather than real-time opponents. Some are frustrated by cheaters in late-game, and the interface is widely described as simple.
