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 methodical, tense crawl through a dark, reactive dungeon where every move requires careful planning and awareness of looming threats.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy it as a mindless distraction they can play on autopilot, while others warn that heavy reliance on RNG and poor balancing make it feel hopeless and luck-based. Unlike Slay the Spire or Balatro, the player has only two choices per turn and limited visibility of enemy stats during upgrades, adding to the frustration.
