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, deliberate descent through a psychological dungeon where you build and refine a deck between contemplative top-down puzzles.

What players say
Players compare Abyssal Shade to Slay the Spire and Inscryption, calling it a free roguelike deckbuilder with card battles and puzzles. Many note the lack of a tutorial, save function, and some softlocks, while others say it gets repetitive but is still fun for a few hours. Sentiment is evenly split between positive and negative reviews.
