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 grim, methodical dungeon crawl where every decision and resource matters and the pixel-art world feels heavy with ancient mystery and peril.

What players say

Players praise the addictive take-3-fight-3 combat loop and the many character builds that make each run different. The retro pixel style and hidden secrets around maps draw comparisons to Dragon Quest meets Slay the Spire, though some note it is a short RPG better approached as a roguelike than a pure rogue-lite, and the difficulty can be punishing.
