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 card game where every decision feels like a calculated risk to keep your lost crew alive in the vastness of space

What players say

Players praise the sci-fi survival twist on deckbuilding but are split on execution. Many call it brutally difficult with long runs, while others find it rewarding once they learn the meta. Complaints about long load times, softlocks, and AI-generated art are common.
