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 casual roguelike deckbuilder where you manage a monster bar with light strategic planning.

What players say

Players praise the charming art, humor, and creative premise of serving drinks to monsters instead of fighting them. The deckbuilding is compared to Slay the Spire and Hearthstone, and the difficulty is described as challenging but not unfair. Early access means limited content, but the developer is responsive to feedback.
