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 thoughtful, turn-based tactical RPG that feels like a faithful digital adaptation of a classic D&D 3.5 tabletop session.

What players say

Players praise its faithful D&D 3.5 combat and old-school Gold Box feel, but disagree sharply on balance: some call the difficulty rewarding, others say enemies cheat with unrestricted spells and summons. A common complaint is that foes always target the wizard first. The game is short, combat-focused, and stripped down to three classes and three races.
