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, claustrophobic blend of blackjack and survival horror where every decision is watched and the pressure mounts with each hand.

What players say

Players compare it to Buckshot Roulette as a reimagined card game that turns blackjack into a tense, atmospheric duel. The pixel art divides opinion, some call it stylish, others find cards hard to read. Each opponent has its own mechanic, adding strategy, but the game lacks features like splitting cards or online play. Updates through 2026 are expected to expand it.
