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 card-battler where you control a team of monsters fighting for freedom against heroes in a roguelike adventure.

What players say

Players praise the value and originality of blending Slay the Spire with Darkest Dungeon, but many find the tutorial poor, the UI cluttered, and bugs common. The monster-fusion system is a highlight, though balance issues and a steep learning curve divide opinion.
