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 cute but strategic card auto-battler where you command summoned kittens in turn-based tactical combat through procedurally generated dungeons.

What players say

Players describe it as an auto battler more than a deckbuilder, with a cute cat art style and fun core loop, but they say it is buggy, poorly explained, and unbalanced. Water-element combos are considered overpowered, and many game-breaking bugs from the demo remain in the 2024 release.
