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.

What players say

Players enjoy the novel blend of slot machine mechanics and auto-chess, with short runs and a dark Cthulhu-themed art style. Opinions split on depth: some find it shallow with few viable builds and deceptive item variety, while others appreciate the randomness and cheap price.
