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 methodical card-driven strategy game where you juggle resources and recruit units through geometric pattern play.

What players say

Players describe a turn-based puzzle deckbuilder built around placing cards in geometric patterns, not the wargame some expected. Missions run short and the geometric resource system takes a mission or two to click. Hard difficulty is punishing, and complaints point to imbalanced unit and card values in the 2026 release.
