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 tense, tactical deckbuilder where you balance investigation, underworld cunning, and monstrous impulses in a darkly humorous comic-book city.

What players say
Players praise the 1950s comic book aesthetic and the novel deck-building mechanics, but many find the game grindy and repetitive. Reviews are split: some love the progressive depth and multiple play styles, while others call it boring and unpolished. A significant minority report progress-wiping crashes and game-breaking bugs.
