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

It feels like playing a tabletop miniatures board game where every move requires careful card and dice management.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy the simple card-based D&D combat, but many call out predatory mobile-like time gates and a pushy cash shop. The game is not co-op despite store page hints, only PvP.
