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

Navigating a procedurally generated galaxy with turn-based tactical depth, where every decision carries weight and death resets the story.

What players say

Players call it a deep, open-ended space roguelike with a lot of personality and emergent stories, though some note its janky interface and a developer who openly apologizes for technical quirks.
