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 frantic scramble to fix a magical mistake using collectible cards in a procedurally generated world, with strategic turn-based combat and a constant sense of impending doom.

What players say

Players say the game has a promising core but is bogged down by grind, limited starting resources that never scale, and repetitive maps. Reviews split on the difficulty: some find it manageable with good builds, others call it unfair and time-wasting.
