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 tense, fast-paced first-person roguelike where every step risks deadly traps and brutal damage, all wrapped in blocky voxel visuals.

What players say

Players describe a hardcore first-person voxel roguelike with permadeath and procedural levels. Combat is widely criticized as clunky and infuriating, and there is no save system, which some find frustrating. Several reviews note the developer appears to have abandoned the game.
