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 game on a grid where you carefully build a deck and outmaneuver opponents online.

What players say

Players praise the tactical card-and-board gameplay that feels like chess, but the PC port launched in a broken state. The game's servers are now down, making even single-player unplayable, while those who did play report tiny player pools and pay-to-win balance issues.
