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 turn-based duel where you carefully deploy a squad of fantasy heroes to outmaneuver a single opponent.

What players say

Players praise the skill-based, zero-RNG design that blends chess with Dota, but warn that the online community is nearly dead. Matches are rewarding for those who learn the deep hero synergies, though beginners face a steep learning curve. The game lacks basic UI features like an action log or the ability to inspect units during the opponent's turn.
