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

You navigate a procedurally generated hex grid, making strategic card-driven decisions while managing a fragile ship and crew in a tense roguelike loop.

What players say

Players enjoy the Slay the Spire deckbuilding mixed with space exploration, but call it rough and unbalanced. Many complain about too many map nodes between bosses, high shop prices, and leftover Chinese text. Updates have dramatically reworked the game multiple times.
