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 you build a deck and deploy units to fight automatically, with a competitive ranked mode and a procedurally generated roguelike PvE mode.

What players say

Players report the PvP mode has no real opponents, only bots. The game feels unfinished with bugs and missing card text explanations. Some note the strategy resembles Artifact, while others say the roguelike PvE content is shallow and repetitive.
