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 relaxed, turn-based sci-fi dungeon crawl where you poke through asteroid mines for loot and oddities.

What players say

Players call this a compact, coffee-break roguelike with 17 procedurally generated levels and a retro sci-fi feel. Opinions split on difficulty: some find it challenging, others wish it were harder. The item-use system has a learning curve, reviewers share tips on disks, nanotech, and food like choccy.
