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 gentle, thoughtful turn-based strategy game where you carefully build a deck to outwit dungeons and enemies, with a cute hand-drawn aesthetic and a focus on casual tactical planning.

What players say

Players describe it as a light turn-based tactics game with fully predictable enemy actions, leading to low difficulty but repetitive late-game encounters. The art and yuri themes appeal to some, though a minority finds the characters shallow despite the visual-novel style.
