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 and cerebral card battler where every move is planned ahead, feeling like solving a puzzle with minimal luck involved.

What players say

Players appreciate the atmospheric sci-fi take on the deckbuilder genre and original mechanics like multiple energy types and a predictable card queue. However, many report the game feels barebones, unbalanced, and too short, with some calling it abandoned due to a lack of updates since early access launch.
