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 methodical, atmospheric card-battling adventure where each tavern encounter feels tense and strategic as you root out demonic influence.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the card mechanics and cheap price, while many report the game is a buggy prototype with no save system, missing settings, broken achievements, and crashes, and they call it abandoned by developers.
