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 magical, strategic journey through enchanted books where card battles and narrative choices weave together.

What players say

Players call it a competent roguelike deckbuilder with a forgettable story and a unique shield system based on party positioning. Some report late-game crashes on specific card combos, and the lack of mid-run saves is a minor annoyance.
