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 brisk, cartoonish deck-builder where each dungeon run feels like a fast tactical duel, blending cute visuals with quick card plays every few seconds.

What players say

Players praise the unique combat with countdown timers and enemy patterns, and many adore the character Brionion. But the game is very short, and some say it feels like a prototype: it has technical issues like enemies clipping through walls, no health bar, and little variety in procedurally generated levels.
