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 deliberate, risk-laden card battler where each decision on a shifting map can tip the balance between vengeance and defeat.

What players say

Players praise the art and music while noting it's an early-access game that borrows heavily from Slay the Spire. A standout feature is choosing the order of zones, but many complain about missing sound effects, no in-run saving, and a shallow card pool.
