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 tactical card game where you manage energy and cards in methodical robot battles, inspired by the deliberate pace of Slay the Spire.

What players say

Players call this a Slay the Spire clone with a mech theme, but say it is too short and easy to break with infinite combos. Reviews also report bugs and poor balance, though some enjoy the simple deckbuilding.
