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 fast-paced turn-based roguelike where you build a ninja team and fight through procedurally generated dungeons using quick-time action commands.

What players say

Players praise the turn-based combat with interactive dodging and unique button inputs, while the randomized wilderness and roguelite structure keep exploration fresh. There is a split on replayability, with some finding it limited and others returning regularly. Watch out for the mushrooms.
