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 lighthearted, story-driven roguelite deck-builder with supernatural overtones and a playful, irreverent tone.

What players say

Players compare it to Balatro but say it has much less depth, grindy progression and luck-heavy difficulty. Opinions split: some enjoy the funny story and art, others find the balancing frustrating and say the developer seems to have abandoned it.
