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

You carefully navigate a deadly dungeon as a fragile ghost, relying on quick thinking and positioning to steal bodies and survive each new floor.

What players say

Players praise the possession mechanic but are split on polish: some call it a fun true roguelike with an original hook, while others report frequent crashes and note the game relies on lots of text. There's an expectation more content may be needed.
