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

Playing Netherguild feels like carefully managing a desperate expedition into an unforgiving underground world, where every fight and resource decision carries weight.

What players say

Players praise the tactical combat and no-rng system, calling it a clever blend of Darkest Dungeon and Final Fantasy Tactics. Community sentiment is split on polish: some find the UI clunky and pathing frustrating, while others see a promising foundation with an active developer adding content through Early Access.
