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 turn-based strategy game where you carefully build your deck and navigate procedurally generated dungeons, facing challenging card battles.

What players say

Players praise the deep deckbuilding that mixes character stats, equipment, and classes for a more RPG-like feel than most roguelike card games, with high replayability from varied builds and a challenging end game. They split on the UI, finding it convoluted early on but compensates with solid mechanics, and note the developers fix bugs quickly.
