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 slow, deliberate dungeon crawl where each turn matters and death is always one wrong step away, wrapped in a sparse medieval Japanese aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the unique stealth mechanics and ninja fantasy, with extra experience for sneaking past enemies. The UI and mouse controls frustrate many newcomers, but the developer fixes bugs quickly. It is a difficult game that rewards learning, and fans say it stands out among traditional roguelikes.
