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 deck-building strategy game where each decision on movement, unit placement, and path choice carries weight, rewarding careful planning over reckless aggression.

What players say
Players praise the unique mechanics where gold replaces mana and units die permanently, but split on content depth. Many note the lack of a proper tutorial and crude UI, while long-time players report development stalled after early access.
