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 colorful, turn-based tactical dungeon crawler with light rogue-lite elements, focused on magic, loot, and crafting.

What players say

Players split on this turn-based rogue-lite. Some praise it as a casual dungeon crawler good for short sessions, others find the single-action-per-turn system punishing and say enemies scaling with the player makes progress feel like a slog. It is described as a mobile-port-style game that gets repetitive, with a neat magic system that forces mana rationing.
