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 strategic, turn-based deckbuilding roguelike where you build a party and carefully synergize cards in tense, punishing battles.

What players say

Players love the character team-building and unexpected story depth, comparing the combat to Darkest Dungeon more than Slay the Spire. Some mention a steep learning curve and bad controller support, and a few wish development continued past its 2024 release.
