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 hand-drawn dungeon-crawling card game with darkly comedic dialogue and strategic roguelike deckbuilding.

What players say

Players praise its charming art and addictive, low-pressure deckbuilding, but many say it is very short, often beaten in one sitting, and relies heavily on RNG. Opinion is split on replay value: some see multiple endings, while others find no reason to revisit after one run. A few reviewers call it a near copy of the mobile game Card Crawl.
