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

It feels like a lively, playful dungeon romp where you joyfully raise skeleton allies to party and fight, with a silly, upbeat tone.

What players say

Players love the absurd humor of dancing skeletons but find the controls janky and the AI frustrating when minions get stuck or push you into hazards. The campaign is short, around 6 hours, with procedurally generated levels. Some say it is charming but rough around the edges.
