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 deliberate, cerebral card game that feels like a thoughtful puzzle battle against smart AI, with a patient and strategic pacing.

What players say

Players describe it as a card-based puzzle game, not a deckbuilder, with a campaign of fixed hands and specific solutions. There is disagreement on the AI difficulty: some find it unfairly matched or random, while others enjoy the challenge of the hard mode.
