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 work-in-progress action strategy simulation with a modest, utilitarian feel given the limited available details.

What players say

Players praise the addictive loop and the blend of management with autobattler combat, often comparing it to a team manager where you can take direct control. Some find the training too passive, with little to do for bench fighters, and note that the early access still lacks polish in translation and systems.
