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 turn-based deckbuilder where you methodically combine diverse card types to tailor a strategic playstyle across procedurally generated missions.

What players say

Players describe it as a cheap, functional Slay the Spire clone that can be enjoyable, but the experience is marred by bugs like immortality glitches, a clunky UI, and inconsistent art. Many praise the dev for patching issues, while co-op is singled out as a unique but tacked-on feature with its own problems.
