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

You repeatedly explore a dark island, growing stronger by collecting cards and carefully choosing which enemies to fight or avoid.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Slay the Spire and Heroes of Might and Magic, but appreciate its own card gem upgrade system and a boss that chases you on a timer. The consensus is that content is very thin, one class, few cards, small maps, and development has stalled with no updates since launch, making it hard to recommend at its price.
