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, card-focused dueling experience where building decks and forging partnerships through structured matches captures the slow-burn satisfaction of outsmarting opponents one turn at a time.

About

Continuing its tradition of events, the Duel Academy has decided to hold a "Tag Duel Tournament" this year. All the students are running about trying to find the right Tag Partner to ensure they'll win! You take on the role of a transfer student who has just joined in the midst of all the excitement. Players must duel the best duelists in Duel Academy, building trust and friendship in order to find the right partner for the "Tag Duel Tournament". In this tournament, whether or not you will find true friendship and "unity" depends on their compatibility with your partner and your dueling spirit.
