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 methodical turn-based puzzle with dice rolls and a risk-reward balance between healing and self-damage.

What players say

Players praise the unique dice-based deckbuilding and varied characters, but note that some enemies deal massive damage with few defensive options. Difficulty ramps sharply on higher modes, and save-scumming can trivialize runs. A few characters feel complex or weak compared to others.
