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 card-battling roguelike where each run demands careful deck-building and tactical decisions, with permanent death forcing repeated attempts.

What players say

Players praise the art style and character variety, but nearly all warn that the game is abandoned and broken: saves corrupt, party members die on reload, and achievements glitch. Reviews split on whether the core deck-building ideas are interesting, but agree poor balance, heavy RNG, and a lack of polish ruin the experience.
