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 cute but punishing turn-based dungeon crawler where each run is tense and strategic, forcing careful planning as death resets progress.

What players say

Players compare it to Shiren the Wanderer with cute anime girls. The miasma system replaces hunger, and gem synthesis is a core mechanic. Reviews are split many find the UI confusing and buggy, while others enjoy the simple, voice-acted dungeon crawling. Some warn of progression-stopping bugs.
