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 deliberate, turn-based strategy game where each move feels like a calculated gamble in a procedurally generated dungeon.

What players say

Players praise the surreal medieval art and atmosphere but split on the gameplay: many say heavy randomness and lack of skill-based decisions make runs frustrating, while others enjoy the push-your-luck strategy. Common complaints include unskippable animations, no save-and-quit, no controller support, and runs feeling samey after the early unlocks.
