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 strategic auto-battler where each run is a tense puzzle of symbol collection and synergy, with defeat teaching you new possibilities.

What players say

Players compare it to Luck Be a Landlord with combat but say the game feels unfinished and mechanically shallow. They report that runs converge on the same winning item combos, there is no mid-run save, and the difficulty spikes can force unwinnable situations. Some players enjoy it as a cheap time waster, while others call it abandoned and clunky.
