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 but thinky card game where you draw paths to combine cards in cozy tavern settings, facing random challenges with permadeath stakes.

What players say

Players praise the game's creative card-battler mechanics and charming art style, but they consistently say the tutorial is too basic and the rules are unclear, leading to a steep learning curve. Many note that understanding requires repeated play, and some find the randomness frustrating.
