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 digital tabletop that feels like gathering around a real tavern table with friends, rolling dice and telling stories together.

What players say

Players appreciate the powerful map editor and crossplay between VR and non-VR, but the game is still in early access with bugs and glitches that frustrate many. Opinions split between those who see a dedicated solo developer gradually improving it and those who find it too broken to enjoy, recommending waiting.
