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 turn-based dungeon descent that feels like a quirky tactical puzzle, mixing dodging and defeating oddball guards with roguelike unpredictability.

What players say

Players describe a puzzle roguelike with sliding movement and turn-based combat. They praise it as easy to pick up for short sessions, but note a learning curve and issues with the isometric view obscuring enemies. Players compare it to Into the Breach and DROD, and say it has three regions and little replayability after clearing.
