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 bleak and atmospheric card-based RPG where you navigate Slavic folklore, making dark pacts and strategic decisions in a world that feels cold and unforgiving.

What players say
Players praise the deep Russian folklore setting and atmosphere, calling it a mix of Slay the Spire card battles with a story about a witch in 19th-century Russia. The writing and lore are strong, but opinions split on difficulty, with several finding it too easy, while some note rough 3D graphics and a frustrating save system.
