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.

A lighthearted card strategy game where you guide a character through a whimsical land with turn-based battles and story events.

What players say

Players praise the unique two-deck system but are divided on depth and replayability. Some find the math-heavy combat engaging, while others say the lack of card upgrades, random enemy targeting, and slow early fights drain enjoyment. The campaign is very short (about 2 hours), and the card text is hard to read even when magnified.
