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 methodical but escalating battle where success hinges on carefully sequencing your entire hand of runes against ever-growing chaos.

What players say

Players praise the left-to-right sequencing mechanic and mana-less system for adding unique depth. Comparisons to Balatro and Slay the Spire are common, with many noting satisfying deckbuilding variety across classes. Some criticize the early access content as thin, and a few find the Steam Deck shop controls frustrating. The ascension difficulty is seen as thoughtful rather than stat-padding.
