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.

A methodical strategy game where every move feels calculated and consequential.

What players say

Players praise the original blend of search-and-extract exploration with dice-based combat inspired by Balatro, and the unusual fusion of Chinese metaphysics and Cthulhu mythos. But many warn the tutorial is overwhelming and the game risks confusion, persistence is rewarded with a deep strategic loop where death still progresses your run.
