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 tactical wuxia RPG where you command heroes by playing cards, blending divine blessings and alien chaos into fast-paced, strategic battles.

What players say

Players widely report that development stalled soon after release, with the developer going silent and abandoning content updates. There is some agreement that the game's concept is promising, but the early access version feels light on content and the roguelike runs quickly become repetitive.
