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 slow, strategic survival simulation where every action is mediated by cards, set in a dense, atmospheric forest that feels alive and untamed.

What players say

Players praise the constant updates and depth, but many find the game refuses to explain its core systems, making it a punishing trial-and-error experience. The enchantment system is especially obtuse, and some feel content runs thin after the first year.
