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, strategic trek through a hostile, procedurally generated wilderness where each caravan decision carries weight and failure is a persistent threat.

What players say

Players praise the unique fantasy world, lore, and narrative-driven roguelite loop, but many find the early game punishingly hard due to limited caravan capacity. Opinion splits on combat: some enjoy it, others say it becomes unbalanced once you find the right party. Long-time players note the game has bugs, but devs continue balancing it.
