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 tactical roguelite where you carefully position monster allies in hex-grid turn-based combat against increasing odds.

What players say

Players praise the monster designs and tactical combat on a hex grid, but opinions split on difficulty and progression. Some find the early game too grindy with long runs, while others say it is easier than most roguelikes. A reviewer notes that post-launch changes moved it from a creature collector toward a standard roguelike loadout system, and several mention unpolished UI.
