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 tense, low-fi dice poker game where every hand carries the weight of survival.

What players say

Players compare it to Inscryption and praise the dice-based premise and atmosphere, many getting hooked quickly. But they split on the difficulty, some call it too easy, and others find it lacks replayability. A few report crashes and say the mechanics are poorly explained.
