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 card battler where you orchestrate a dark fantasy story through timed attacks and deck upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the novel mix of auto-battle and real-time card play but find the game rough and shallow. Combat feels good moment to moment, but many cards are left untranslated, targeting by dragging causes frequent misclicks, and runs are short with little variety. Long-time players say content is thin, with only one character and no real build variety.
