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, no-save session of procedurally generated turn-based encounters where every decision matters against an unseen cosmic threat.

What players say

Players describe Sclera as a game-book-style roguelike with a strong Lovecraftian atmosphere and multiple endings, though some find the combat buggy and the early game confusing. The archetype system offers only minor sanity benefits, and players are split on polish versus enjoyment.
