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 slow, methodical puzzle-like card game where every move is a deliberate choice between two paths.

What players say

Players praise the clever simplicity of choosing only right or down, but warn that RNG and unbalanced biomes and classes make early runs frustrating. There is no save option, so each run must be finished in one sitting. Some enjoy the quick addictive loops, while others find the content too thin and the game feels incomplete.
