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 game where you carefully manage two interlocking decks, balancing skill combos with resource luck to survive turn-based fights.

What players say

Players see Charta Dungeon as a mash-up of Slay the Spire and Balatro, mixing poker hands with combat cards in a pixel-art package. Some praise the original two-deck system, while others say it copies Balatro too closely and has rough UI and weak tutorial. Long-time players split on whether it has enough identity.
