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 methodical and visually stunning journey through ink-washed labyrinths, where every tactical step feels deliberate and steeped in dark, hand-drawn beauty.

What players say

Players say Labyrinth of Zangetsu is a Wizardry-inspired dungeon crawler with beautiful ink art, but the charm fades as grindy progression, random stat losses, and permadeath mechanics frustrate many. Difficulty spikes early and then becomes trivial late-game, leaving some players split on whether it is worth the time.
