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.

What players say

Players say this dungeon crawler is mechanically deep and rewarding, with a huge cast of unique characters and challenging boss fights that feel like puzzles. However, it demands heavy use of a wiki to understand its opaque systems, and opinion is split on whether the grind and difficulty spikes are worthwhile.
