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 stylized, turn-based strategy game where you build a deck and command martial arts fighters in tactical battles.

What players say

Players praise the unique slap-based rock-paper-scissors combat and short runs, but many are frustrated by auto-merging of skills, a steep boss difficulty spike, and the lack of meta-progression. Some also report untranslated Mandarin text and feel the developer is overly prescriptive about how to play.
