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

The game feels like a tactical board game where you slide rows to reposition units, summon spells, and outwit opponents in magical duels.

What players say

Players praise the original slide mechanic that moves terrain instead of units, adding depth to tactics. The game is easy to learn but hard to master, with a deck-building system and a claymation art style. Some find the pace too slow in early access, and a few dislike unlocking content through single-player.
