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 command armies and guide a champion through a procedurally generated board-game-like adventure, balancing tactical defense with personal quests in a moderately challenging, replayable loop.

What players say

Players compare it to a board game and card game hybrid, with a text adventure story that requires reading. The combat is simple rock paper scissors, which some find too luck-based. The tutorial is weak, making the game hard to learn, and there are complaints about missing UI scaling and 4K support.
