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

You carefully position units and cast synergistic spells in tactical turn-based battles, knowing each run ends in permadeath.

What players say

Players praise the faction synergies and the satisfaction of building broken combos in a game with longer runs than typical roguelikes. They note that the game has good bones but still needs polish, with complaints about awkward menus, a game-breaking crash bug, and the 1080p resolution limit.
