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 hybrid of turn-based tactics and deckbuilding where every move on a shared timeline demands careful resource juggling.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the innovative card-and-grid combat and deckbuilding, while others find it a puzzle game in disguise where each fight demands a specific build, often requiring trial and error. The game's mobile origins show in the UI and a few note performance issues, and some longtime players complain about the name change from Labyrinth.
