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, cerebral tactics run where every placement and card choice tightens the noose against swelling undead hordes.

What players say

Players describe it as a mix of Tetris-style board placement, deckbuilding, and tactics in a Lovecraftian setting, with runs that vary through procedural generation. The difficulty is a sticking point, some call it tough but rewarding, others find it frustrating, and a few report bugs or boredom. Reviews split on whether the challenge and pacing hold up.
