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 classic dungeon-crawling adventure where you navigate hundreds of rooms, solving puzzles and fighting monsters with magical spells.

What players say

Players call this a quirky and nostalgic DOS-era action-puzzle game, but they warn that it is clunky, slow-paced, and the enemies move erratically while the player's attacks feel weak. Some praise its humor and unique mechanics like hunger and burping, while others find the gameplay boring or frustrating by modern standards.
