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, tactical card-based RPG where you manage a secret society against oppressive church forces and corrupting magic.

What players say

Players describe a digital board game where you race against a clock with limited actions, drawing cards and rolling dice to survive. The randomness is divisive, with some calling it frustrating and others finding it rewarding after the learning curve. The fixed map and formulaic missions draw complaints of repetition.
