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 methodical climb through a dark, underground world where careful resource management and base-building are your only lifelines.

What players say

Players describe a mix of base defense and roguelike exploration where health doubles as currency, making early progress punishing. They praise the dark Tim Burton-like art style but report repetitive levels and puzzles, a lack of dodge at the start, and bugs that can leave you stuck with no restart option.
