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 tactical roguelike where you manage squads through procedurally generated ruins and demon-infested depths, rewarding careful planning and gear upgrades.

What players say

Players describe a turn-based tactics game with cute animal soldiers, but opinions split on difficulty and progression. Some call it short and easy, while others criticize the grind that locks upgrades behind finishing a run. A common complaint is the lack of a mid-run save, forcing long sessions.
