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 tense, methodical puzzle game where each move requires careful planning and risk assessment against procedurally generated elemental foes.

What players say
Players say the game combines Tetris-like block placement with turn-based tactical combat, but many find the gameplay repetitive and lacking progression. There is no penalty for dying, which some say makes the game trivial, and the procedural generation can lead to unwinnable situations. The game is short, around 6 hours, and players are split on the value given the price.
