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 charming, turn-based puzzle-like adventure guiding a cute team of minions through mazes with strategic deckbuilding and roguelike progression.

What players say

Players praise the reverse tower defense concept and monster variety, but the mid-game store costs scale too aggressively, rerolls become prohibitively expensive, undermining deck refinement. There is strong disagreement on depth: some find it strategic and replayable, others call it mindless or boring quickly. The campaign is short unless played with all clans.
