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 tense, strategic roguelike deckbuilder with a hand-drawn cyberpunk atmosphere and fast-paced turn-based combat.

What players say

Players praise the art style and animations but are split on difficulty: some find it punishing and RNG-dependent, while others say it's rewarding once you learn the mechanics. A common complaint is the slow walk between encounters and lack of basic features like a turn redo.
