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 and atmospheric survival horror roguelike where scavenging, crafting, and turn-based combat are essential in a deadly high-rise.

What players say

Players call SKYHILL a survival roguelike where randomness often overpowers strategy. The combat relies on hit chances that frequently miss even at high percentages, and bad luck with loot can end a run early. Reviews mention multiple endings, but the game requires many playthroughs to see them all, which some find tedious due to the repetitive structure.
