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 deck-building journey where you gradually power up your hero by collecting cards and crafting legendary loot through quests

What players say

Players are split on this one. Many praise the class system and lack of pay-to-win, but just as many report severe balancing problems and a grind wall. The campaign is unfinished, with the second chapter missing. Difficulty spikes and enemy resistances often force specific deck builds or make fights feel unfair.
