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 quick, strategic card game that packs civilization-building depth and tough choices into ten-minute competitive matches.

What players say

Players say the game is a solid deckbuilder with strategic depth, but the backend shutdown means all cards are unlocked and there is no progression. Reviews split on the randomness and balance, with some calling cards swingy or unbalanced.
