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 moody, old-school dungeon crawler where every step feels shadowed by doom and discovery.

What players say

Players say Magic Cauldron is a very simple dungeon crawler with no character creation, leveling, or stats, which disappoints those expecting an RPG. Instead you find stronger weapons and craft potions. It is short (around 5-6 hours) and easy, making it more suitable as a child's first dungeon crawler than for veterans.
