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

You carefully combine spells in turns, feeling clever when a creative chain wipes out a room and tense when one misplay ends your run.

What players say

Players praise the creative spell-combination system and the chaos of breaking the game with overpowered synergies. The multiplayer is a highlight for many. Some find enemies too aggressive and overtuned, with ranged threats and high damage that discourage tactical positioning.
