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 bright, cooperative dungeon-crawling adventure that feels quick and accessible to jump into with friends.

What players say

Players praise the adorable art style and fun dungeon crawling with friends, especially on harder levels, but many say the game has barely seen new content in over a decade and relies on overpriced cosmetics and loot box weapons that feel pay-to-win. Some warn about a toxic upper social tier, while others note a small, dedicated core community.
