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 fast-paced, strategic card battler where you build a deck and climb the ranks in a rock band-themed roguelike.

What players say

Players praise the co-op experience and say the music is catchy, but warn that the player base is tiny so you need friends to join you. The single-player mode can feel unwieldy because one character levels up at a time, and the game starts hard until you unlock more cards.
