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 turn-based roguelike where you play as a destructive villain, slowly regaining power by butchering, burning, and raising the dead across a procedurally generated world.

What players say

Players enjoy the early power fantasy and freedom, but split on the late game where enemies become damage sponges and combat turns tedious. The durability system discourages using equipment, and spellcasting requires annoying extra clicks. The game is often discussed in the context of developer controversy that prompted many purchases.
