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 methodical card-based adventure where each turn demands careful planning as you build your deck through a colorful dungeon.

What players say

Players describe Tower of the Sage as a simple and cheap deckbuilding roguelike similar to Slay the Spire, but many report gamebreaking bugs like black screens and freezes that force run restarts. There is disagreement: some find it a relaxing entry point, while others say it lacks content and variety for genre veterans.
