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 mix of dice-rolling luck and turn-based tactical positioning on a small grid, where each move and counter feels carefully considered.

What players say

Players love the cute art and variety of characters, but many find the dice-based movement limiting and the game heavily RNG-dependent. Reviews split on difficulty: some find it too easy, others unwinnable, and there is no difficulty setting. Players also note bugs and a lack of controller support, and long-time players say feat mode becomes repetitive.
