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 fast-paced, strategic rush of building combos and mowing down endless hordes in a desolate world.

What players say

Players are split on this casual bullet-heaven deckbuilder. Some enjoy the hybrid mechanics and spritework, while others say it is too easy, has poor visual clarity, and feels unfinished despite being a full release.
