In one line

Order a monster from a deeply questionable catalog, build it on a strict points budget, and find out in the arena whether the bet was any good.

In one paragraph

Grimbly’s Catalog of Affordable Beasts is a monster builder and arena battler from Wisp & Wight Lampworks. Every build gets the same budget, and every stat, part, and weapon comes out of it, so the building is the strategy: points spent on armor are points not spent on wings. The game begins in a mail-order store with stock counts, customer reviews, and a returns policy that does not favor the customer. Coming to Steam in spring 2027.

About the pictures

Every picture in the kit is a concept painting, made with image-generation tools from the studio’s own designs. None is a screenshot, and the game will not look exactly like them. Please caption them as concept art.

The real mailing list

Nothing in this shop can be bought yet.

The catalog is fiction until the game ships. Leave an address and the studio will write once, when the Steam page opens, and rarely after that. It goes on the Keeper’s List, which the studio shares across its games.
