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 lighthearted, card-driven village builder where you carefully manage resources and build decks to grow a thriving community.

What players say

Players compare it to Stacklands and Slay the Spire, but say it does not excel at either. The food tribute mechanic is punishing, especially when the deity eats items you need for building. Combat and deck customization feel shallow. The final stage drags on. Some say updates improved the balance, while others call the game a slog. Steam deck support is broken at launch.
