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 grim, turn-based struggle where each day you gamble against death itself, clinging to hope through tense strategic choices

What players say
Players praise the innovative system of building custom cards from triggers and modifiers, comparing it to Final Fantasy's materia. Many love the atmospheric art and music. However, players are divided on balance: some find every choice obvious and meta progression painfully slow, while others find the challenge rewarding and runs endlessly varied.
