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 slow-burn tactical deckbuilder where you methodically build your deck through exploration and conquest on a hex grid

What players say

Players praise the core deckbuilding and tactical combat but are nearly unanimous that development stopped shortly after early access launched in 2023, leaving the campaign unfinished and content thin. Builds are lopsided: a self-casting electricity loop far outperforms ships, which feel too fragile to use on higher difficulties.
