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 calming, methodical experience of organizing shelves, opening packs, and building a small card shop from scratch.

What players say

Players find the pack-opening loop deeply addictive, but opinions split on long-term staying power. Some call it repetitive and grindy after a few hours, while others sink hundreds of hours into it. Several note the customers' realistic stink and complaints. Performance and crash bugs are reported, and at least one player suffered severe motion sickness.
