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 manage a guild of retired adventurers plundering a psychic hellmaw, balancing tactical dungeon crawling with town building in a grim, story-driven purgatory.

What players say

Players praise the deep class synergies and short, focused runs, but many are frustrated by an opaque UI that hides key information like character equipment and abilities.
