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 methodical and tense deck-building strategy game where every turn feels calculated against a bleak, dystopian backdrop.

What players say

Players praise it as a great way to learn the game and find the expedition system fun, but others struggle with a steep difficulty curve and convoluted rules. The lack of online multiplayer is a surprise to some.
