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, atmospheric deck-building strategy game where each turn presents tactical choices in a retro 2D setting.

What players say

Players describe this as a roguelite tactics game with a deep class-and-sigil build system but shallow long-term replayability. Translation issues and unclear mechanics frustrate some, while others praise the variety of viable strategies despite an endgame that grows punishing and grindy.
