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 tense, story-driven card game where you build a deck and face probing AI and brutal corporate forces, with a gritty cyberpunk feel.

What players say

Players are split: some find it addictive for building decks to beat harder missions, others call it boring. The AI is notably weak, especially at keeping its hand full, making the campaign easy. Reviewers note it resembles a simplified Magic: The Gathering or Hearthstone, with limited card variety.
