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

It feels like playing a tactical tabletop RPG session where every decision matters and teamwork is essential.

What players say

Players praise the combat for its faithful 5e rule implementation but are split on the base game's value: several note core classes are locked behind paid DLC. The writing and voice acting are widely called flat, while the multiplayer is described as hilarious with friends but prone to desyncs. The gamemaster mode for creating custom campaigns is a standout feature.
