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 tense turn-based card game where you bluff and cheat to survive a deadly cruise, with a darkly comic and story-rich atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the passion and creativity but are deeply split on the poker design. Some say the rules are broken by an enemy with infinite power or by exploit-friendly team play, while others find the poker mechanics fun and fresh with RPG skills. A controversial feature deletes your save before the final boss, forcing a full restart if you lose.
