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, turn-based board game that feels like a tense, beautifully illustrated fantasy adventure where every move is a careful gamble.

What players say

Players love the art, music, and setting, and many still enjoy it with friends, but they say the multiplayer is dead outside peak hours on American time zones and the singleplayer AI is too weak. Long-time players report the game is buggy, abandoned by the developers, and lacks workshop support.
