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, turn-based deckbuilding strategy game set in a mysterious and atmospheric steampunk train trapped in a time loop, where each decision matters.

What players say

Players compare it to Slay the Spire with an Old West and time-loop twist, but complaints about card text not matching behavior are common enough to split opinion. The AI voice acting is widely noted as mediocre.
