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 cerebral, turn-based card battler where each run reshuffles the world and demands careful deck balance and tactical risk-taking.

What players say

Players say Dreamgate is a reworked version of the devs' earlier game Fate Hunters, with similar gameplay and even the same music. It does away with mana, using gold cards that clog the deck until deposited. Long-time players report the game was abandoned in early access despite being unfinished, with the last update in June 2021.
