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 cooperative deckbuilding adventure where every card draw and party choice feels consequential in procedurally generated encounters.

What players say

players love the core deckbuilder with party customization and long runs, but consistently report that paid DLCs have broken multiplayer with desyncs and crashes. sentiment is split between the enjoyable base game and frustration with the recent buggy state and expensive DLC.
