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 relaxed yet strategic card-based simulation where each run feels manageable and satisfying within a short session.

What players say

Players describe it as a hybrid of deckbuilding and tower defense where you place cards to generate income and survive disasters. Reviews note heavy reliance on RNG for card placement and a lack of a save system as recurring frustrations, while the endless mode and strategic planning keep some engaged.
