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, pixelated dungeon crawl where every action matters and you must plan your moves against predictable enemies to survive.

What players say

Players say Micro Dungeon is a tiny turn-based roguelike with promise but serious balance problems. Enemies can one-shot you early, especially with the archer and shield characters, while the sword character feels too strong. The controls are keyboard-only with no rebinding, and the difficulty swings wildly. Some compare it to Into the Breach in spirit.
