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

Yomi feels like a tense, cerebral duel where every card play is a high-stakes read on your opponent's next move.

What players say

Players praise the clever blend of fighting game mechanics into a rock-paper-scissors card system with deep strategy, but warn that online play is dead and matchmaking empty. Many recommend avoiding the game due to the developer's DMCA abuse against other indie titles using the word Yomi.
