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 tense, luck-driven game of high-stakes dice poker where every roll can tip the balance between triumph and chaos.

What players say

Players compare it to a dice-based Balatro or Cloverpit, calling it a roguelike Yahtzee where you build synergies from skull relics to multiply your score. The standard run of 25 rounds can feel long, and some new item descriptions are hard to parse at first.
