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 brisk, arcade-style dungeon crawl where you and friends smash colorful voxel enemies and collect shiny loot without much tension or risk.

What players say

Players enjoy the co-op and early grind, but many say the endgame becomes a repetitive slog and levels feel too long. The mouse-only movement and required Microsoft account logins frustrate some, while Steam Deck owners report it works with Proton. Split opinions: some find it shallow for kids, others call it a good casual Diablo-like.
