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 methodical deckbuilder where chaining card combos drives tactical fights through a foldable paper realm that grows more intricate with each run.

What players say

Players compare Inkborn heavily to Slay the Spire, praising its combo system and origami art style but disagree on difficulty and value. Most love the potential, yet many note the early access is light on content with only one class and slow updates, and some call balance wonky or the price too high.
