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 strategic and darkly atmospheric card-based journey through a vampire-infested randomly generated world.

What players say

Players describe it as a free, barebones Slay the Spire clone that shows some care but lacks content, polish, and basic features like a tutorial, music, or a save function. The possession mechanic stands out as a unique idea, but the game is short, easy, and prone to freezes and bugs.
