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.

What players say

Players enjoy the weapon card system and shifting deck where cards are destroyed after play. Many note the game feels basic and light on content with no meta-progression, though they praise the art and sound design. Reviews split on whether the small bugs and repetitive long-term play matter yet, with some saying the game needs more updates to feel complete.
