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.

About

Cardinal Arc is Idea Factory's newest card-based RPG. There's more to it than just that, though, as Gallahad must battle against Heaven and Hell to win as many cards and take over as much territory as he can. There's a two-player versus mode too.
