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 strategic roguelike card game where players carefully match numbers and colors to activate increasingly powerful cards, with each run offering new combinations and unlocks.

What players say

Players like the novel mix of poker hands and roguelite deckbuilding, but split on its execution. Enemies do not play cards back, making fights feel one-sided, and runs are short with limited maps. Several note the game is rough around the edges compared to genre giants, and at least one reviewer says bug fixes stopped.
