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 calm, cerebral strategy experience centered on tile placement and tactical decision-making.

What players say

Players call it an addictive deck-builder in the Balatro mold, with strong synergies and a tough higher difficulty. But they also report game-breaking bugs, like soft locks after rewards and a zookeeper build that ends runs on reload.
