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 grim, methodical dungeon crawl where each run feels like a desperate ritual to save a dying world.

What players say

Players praise the quirky art and story but feel the game is repetitive and slow, with long runs that offer little enemy variety. Movement feels sluggish, and the healing mechanic is not explained, while crashes can erase all progress.
