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 whimsical and laid-back castle-building card game where you manage cheerful dwarves to construct an enchanted fortress while fending off lighthearted threats.

What players say

Players are split on Dwarven Skykeep: some love its charm and humor, while many find it ruined by heavy RNG that forces frequent restarts, especially in train levels. Bugs like a missing mouse cursor and a shallow deckbuilding system frustrate newcomers, and the small, quiet Discord suggests stalled developer support.
