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 sharp, competitive card game where buying and selling cards mid-match keeps you constantly thinking one step ahead of your opponent.

What players say

Players admire the art but find the gameplay generic, citing Hearthstone-like mechanics. Many can't get the game to launch, and those who do report a tiny online population makes finding matches difficult. A Japanese reviewer points out a design issue where delaying your victory to power up your deck is rewarded, killing pacing.
