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 retro pixel-art deck-building RPG where you race against a timeline to make quick, crucial decisions in turn-based battles.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced semi-real-time card battles and deep strategy, calling it a card-game version of Slice & Dice with over 500 cards and 10 characters. The UI is cluttered and the tutorial's next-page button is hard to find. Players also report various bugs, inconsistent dragging, and a high learning curve that scares away casual players.
