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

Navigating a hand-drawn, turn-based dungeon with a party of monsters feels like orchestrating a tactical, puzzle-infused expedition through a grim, stylized underworld.

What players say

Players praise Paper Sorcerer's art style and soundtrack, but nearly all warn it is buggy and abandoned by the developer. Some find combat rewarding, while others say random encounters and looting grow repetitive. Reviews split on whether the bugs are tolerable or ruin the experience.
