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 bleak survival where each card-based choice weighs your humanity against the need for resources in a lawless wasteland.

What players say

The promising post-apocalyptic card-RPG concept is undercut by missing options: no settings menu, no volume controls, and no tutorial. Players endure repetitive clicking to open loot boxes and many say RNG, not strategy, determines success, with some calling it a mobile-style clicker.
