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 tactical dice-roller where each roll in a corrupted fairy-tale realm forces careful resource management and risk assessment.

What players say

Players praise the clever mix of Monopoly-like boards with auto-battler and roguelite rune combos, but widespread save-loss bugs, crashes, and missing translations make it nearly unplayable for many. Disagreement is rare: most negative reviews cite the same bugs, while positive ones acknowledge the foundation is there but rough.
