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 tactical card-battling roguelike with voxel-style graphics and Lovecraftian themes, where you move characters on a 3D grid and build synergistic decks while facing oversized enemies.

What players say

Players call it a promising mix of Slay the Spire and turn-based tactics with a Sanity mechanic, but report development stalled with no updates for a long time, making the EA version feel incomplete and unbalanced. Reviews split on whether the core idea works, while the poor translation and barebones UI are widely noted.
