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 tactical card battler where you carefully curate masks and navigate encounters within limited steps.

What players say

Players enjoy the core loop of fusing masks and experimenting with combos like shield-reflect or ghoul builds, but many find the early access balance chaotic and worry the developer over-nerfs fun strategies without fixing deeper issues. The UI and tutorial are also criticized as confusing.
