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.

a strategic card battle game with visual novel storytelling that feels dynamic and lighthearted as you combine cards and level up skills.

What players say

Players enjoy the silly story, charming art, and addictive deckbuilding, but nearly all reviews agree the developer abandoned it with no updates for over a year. The game is fun despite bugs like broken energy tracking and performance issues, though many call it grindy and warn against paying full price.
