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

What players say

Players say Path of Achra is a build-crafter's paradise where runs are short and clicking a single button triggers screen-wide destruction. The retro visuals and Lovecraft-meets-Conan lore charm some, while others find the lack of active play boring. Long-time roguelike fans compare it favorably to Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
