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.

A relaxing, accessible dungeon crawler that lets friends jump in via browser for cooperative looting and combat.

What players say

Players describe it as a modern take on classic MUDs and roguelikes, with fluid combat that punishes carelessness. Many warn the early game is repetitive and navigation hints are vague, but those who enjoy the genre value the hidden secrets and the solo developer's responsiveness.
