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

Exploring a haunted mansion as a maid, carefully building a deck and managing cooldowns in turn-based battles with a cute anime aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the unique cooldown-based deckbuilding, where the entire hand is always drawn and larger decks are encouraged. The art and anime style are highlights, but many note the game is short and repetitive, best bought on sale.
