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 thoughtful card-driven strategy game where you experiment with animal interactions and build your own path through evolving combinations.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying synergy combos and cute animal art, but many criticize the lack of deck variety early on and a memory leak that causes slowdown. Opinions split on replayability: some find it addictive, others call it repetitive after the first run.
