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 tense turn-based strategy game where bribing enemies adds a layer of tactical unpredictability.

What players say

Players praise the clever twist of recruiting enemies instead of just killing them, and the extraction mechanic that carries resources between runs. Many note a steep loss aversion problem: every run can wipe out hours of progress, leading to intense frustration. Reviews split on whether the inventory and upgrade systems feel punishing or rewarding, and several call out UI clarity as a weak point.
