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 bureaucratic fantasy where you shuffle between mundane office tasks and spell-based monster battles, building a fortune-telling deck to predict and counter threats.

What players say

Players enjoy the clever rock-paper-scissors combat mixed with tarot card prediction, calling it a short but charming puzzle RPG. The story about a cursed fortune-teller in a corporate setting draws praise, and some note the ending is touching.
