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 laid-back yet strategic game where you roll dice, bank points, and trigger chain reactions to push your score higher.

What players say

Players call it a relaxing, addictive Balatro alternative with a satisfying combo system. The early learning curve trips some up, but once the dice logic clicks, runs flow. Players split on difficulty, some find it challenging while others see it as a chill time-killer.
