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 methodical card-based strategy game where you plan each turn to clear enemies' cards, balanced with roguelite persistence and fantasy loot.

What players say

Players describe this as solitaire meets roguelite with quick runs, but some call it a low-quality version of Solitarica with missing quality-of-life features. The game lacks a tutorial and has cheap visuals, though its active developer is responsive to feedback.
