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 fast-paced tactical card game where every turn feels like a high-stakes puzzle of outmaneuvering a relentless enemy.

The game offers scalable difficulty across several tiers, with runs lasting about 30 minutes on normal. Some criticize limited replayability, noting few unlocks and the need to beat the story 24 times.
