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.

A strategic, creature-driven card game that blends collection and tactical deck decisions into a thoughtful, city-saving puzzle.

What players say

Players praise the blend of deckbuilding and grid tactics, where each monster carries its own deck and swapping them in and out is key. The art and creature designs are a standout. Veterans of Slay the Spire or Into the Breach found it easy, while newcomers loved the challenge.
