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, strategic card-battler where careful deckbuilding and positioning matter as you fight through paper dungeons with friends or solo.

What players say

Players strongly prefer Hellcard with a team, finding solo play punishing due to RNG and slow progression. The co-op is praised but the game is weighed down by a steep learning curve, unbalanced classes, and occasional login issues.
