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 strategic card game where careful planning and quick adaptation are key, wrapped in a lighthearted anime comedy about hacking and dreams.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a deckbuilder or a puzzle game. Most agree it's very hard and rewards careful planning, with a no-undo, no-mid-boss-save design that frustrates. The combos feel clever and powerful, but card readability and a long tutorial turn some away.
