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
Each turn feels like a deliberate, consequential choice in a stripped-down tactical RPG where strategy outweighs spectacle.

What players say
Players see this as a lightweight Slay the Spire clone with a ninja aesthetic and a spirit gauge for powerful attacks, but caution that its early access state means only 1 or 2 runs before seeing most content. They appreciate the boost system for satisfying combos and note the difficulty is moderate to easy, though some wish for more voice acting and animations.
