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 frantic keyboard-bashing roguelike where you dodge enemy barrages while frantically typing spells to build a custom magic arsenal.

What players say

Players praise the unique spell-casting system where you trace characters on a grid, but note its steep learning curve and high difficulty. The cute visuals hide a deep strategy game with deck building and multiple endings, though initial runs can be confusing. Players split on whether the story is engaging or generic.
