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 lighthearted but strategically deep collectible card game where unit placement on a tactical board adds a layer of thoughtful positioning and risk.

What players say

Players praise the strategic depth of unit positioning and spell timing, likening it to a deeper but less serious Hearthstone. The game is described as a great mix of card game and turn-based strategy with rewarding deck building, though some note the meta can become frustrating with oppressive decks.
