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 deliberate, strategy-focused RPG that feels like carefully managing resources and positioning in a calm but tense tactical environment.

What players say

Players praise this blend of deckbuilder and Tetris combat as addictive and unique, with beautiful pixel art and a soundtrack that stands out. The developer is noted for quick patches, and the story drives thoughtful themes about life and death. Some find the Tetris combos hard to control, but the community is enthusiastic overall.
