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 lighthearted, turn-based strategy game where players compete to collect resources using cards and hero skills, blending chess-like movement with casual card play.

What players say

Players call it a clever mix of Monopoly-like board game and card-based strategy, where card dice replace random rolls and resource management is key. The game is challenging, especially from the third level, and offers many heroes with different talents. Some note rough English localization and no multiplayer, but those who enjoy the concept find it addictive despite the difficulty.
