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 methodical, high-stakes dungeon crawl where you master creature behavior through trial and error, restarting from scratch with each death.

What players say

Players describe Rogue Summoner as a tactical puzzle that blends roguelike dungeon crawling with auto-chess combat. They praise the predictable enemy behavior, akin to Into the Breach, but warn that the lack of a save feature forces restarts from the beginning. The community splits on whether the game's difficulty is rewarding or boring.
