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

You build a dungeon and lure heroes to their doom in a strategic card game that feels like a digital adaptation of a tabletop board game.

What players say

Players love the card game itself, but this Steam port is buggy, has an unintuitive UI, and suffers from crashes and freezes. Reviews split between long-time fans who recommend waiting for fixes and those who say it is unplayable in multiplayer.
