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 dungeon crawl where you assemble a party and explore procedurally generated, cursed fantasy environments with turn-based, animated battles.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced, satisfying turn-based combat and visible enemies on the map, but warn of a brutal difficulty spike early on until you get a second party member. The crafting system is nearly useless, the game is short with no new game plus, and some maps suffer from performance stuttering.
