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 punishing dungeon crawl where every discovery in the dark must be earned by barely escaping with your life, if you can.

What players say
Players find the core loop addictive, with well-telegraphed enemies and satisfying loot, but consistently note very short playtime, under an hour once you know the routes, and little to do past the first boss. Long-time players warn development appears abandoned, as the last update was three years ago.
