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 pixelated, top-down dungeon-crawling romp that feels like a brisk, linear Zelda-inspired adventure with light rogue-lite progression.

What players say

Players highlight the unique mouse-swinging combat but note it can become tiring. There is disagreement over whether the roguelike structure is enjoyable, with some criticizing the lack of clear tagging and progress loss.
