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

This game feels like carefully building a deck and watching it evolve through procedural battles.

What players say

Players call the game unfinished with rough translation and bugs, and note the developer abandoned and delisted a prior Early Access title. The concept is novel and the art is praised, but combat balance is poor and players are split on whether the game is worth buying now versus waiting for updates.
