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

Playing Ruff Ghanor feels like a deliberate, story-driven card battle where each decision matters against a looming dragon threat.

What players say

Players split on Ruff Ghanor. Many say it is unbalanced and luck-dependent, with a few runs decided by a single broken relic. Others report it crashes regularly and has not seen patches since launch, making it feel abandoned. Fans of the source material are especially disappointed. A few players enjoy the story and art, and call it fair for the price.
