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 turn-based deckbuilding strategy game that feels like a lighthearted yet thoughtful board game, where every battle asks you to rethink your approach.

What players say

Players love the strategic depth and variety of units, but many find it unforgiving due to rare checkpoints and losing progress on three losses. The game is praised for its art and music, and compared to a mix of deck-building and tactical board games. Some players find the difficulty too punishing, especially when hidden enemy spawns force trial-and-error.
