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 fast-paced, competitive card game where players build decks and outmaneuver opponents on tactical boards in real-time PvP battles.

What players say

Players praise the tactical card-and-board mix as a fun break from standard CCGs, but many warn that development stalled and the game relies on always-online servers that were eventually shut down, leaving the game unplayable. The community is split on whether the free-to-play model is generous or stingy.
