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, chess-like duel where each turn demands clever synergy of unique champion abilities.

What players say

Players appreciate the tactical depth and fun campaign, but the PvP is dead and the AI in Arena mode is weak. The campaign has a frustrating mission 12 with infinite waves, and the game lacks basic quality-of-life features like an undo button.
