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 card game where every draw feels like a gamble between playing it safe and chasing big combos.

What players say

Players call it a fast, luck-driven card game that is fun in short bursts, but many warn that the AI cheats and a long-standing resolution bug makes the game unplayable on some setups.
