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 deliberate, turn-based strategy game where you manage and upgrade dice to tilt luck in your favor across a series of tactical skirmishes.

What players say

Players praise the short 15-minute runs and deep dice manipulation, saying the core loop is addictive despite ugly graphics. Some warn that unlocking new characters dilutes the dice pool and makes runs less consistent. Reviews compare it favorably to Slay the Spire and Dicey Dungeons.
