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 fantasy adventure of assembling a creature team and exploring a procedurally shifting world with turn-based tactical combat and permanent consequences.

What players say

Players praise its tactical auto-battler combat and unit synergies, but consistently warn development has stalled with no updates for over a year. The game is short, around 10 hours, and splits players: some find it addictive for a run or two, others say it gets repetitive quickly and one healing build dominates.
