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

An expansive space adventure where you explore hand-designed worlds, engage in turn-based combat and deckbuilding, and manage resources with a humorous, tactical feel.

What players say

Players praise the mix of card-based combat, crafting, and exploration, but many find the energy system too punishing, forcing emergency calls that wipe inventory. Reviews split on the turn-based card battles: some enjoy the tactical depth, others find them a clunky interruption. The game is in early access and some call it a console port with limited content.
