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 fast-paced tactical card battler set in a colorful dystopian future, where every run demands careful deck-building and strategic combat against robotic foes.

What players say

Players praise the weapon system but say the game was abandoned early, the card pool is shallow, and enemy scaling turns into a grind. The translation is broken and the UI is confusing. Reviews split on whether it is fun or just frustrating.
