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 turn-based deckbuilder where you carefully plan each move against fantastical foes, with each run offering new combinations and challenges.

What players say

Players recommend it as a solid deckbuilder similar to Slay the Spire or Against the Obelisk, praising its dual-character card system and open-world exploration with paintbrushes. Many find it short and repetitive after 15–20 hours, and say it is best bought on sale.
