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 tense dungeon crawler where every outcome hinges on random chance, making each step feel unpredictable and high-stakes.

What players say

Players compare it to a simpler, more random Slay the Spire with weapon degradation that feels unfair. They praise the music and art, but say the game is unbalanced and buggy, and status effects bypass shields.
