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 strategic, narrative-driven deck-builder where each choice shapes a mythic tale, feeling methodical and story-focused rather than fast-paced or action-heavy.

What players say

Players call it a solid Slay the Spire-like that stands apart through three distinct characters and a Japanese mythology theme, though some find it inferior to StS. Deck upgrades are scarce, and opinions split on balance, with some calling later encounters overtuned. A few complain one character feels unplayable or less interesting.
