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 brainy, turn-based magic duel where each spell choice escalates the tension and rewards clever combos.

What players say

Players enjoy combining runes for stacking power-ups that can multiply damage. The story about searching for a loved one in the underworld has multiple endings. Some note it is short, around 40 minutes, and the last fight is challenging.
