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.

What players say

TurnBreak combines creature collecting with a rock-paper-scissors battle system and a morale mechanic that rewards planning. Players praise its short, snack-sized runs and the way beasts evolve mid-fight then revert, creating tactical decisions. There are some complaints about item variety being limited and the tutorial being text-heavy, especially for colorblind players.
