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

You carefully plan each card-based move to outwit enemies and escape a pixelated dungeon room by room.

What players say

A short (under 2 hours) puzzle game where each level provides the exact cards you need, in the right order, to clear monsters and reach the exit. Players say it is relaxing but warn that the controls feel clunky and mechanics are not explained, you learn by trial and error.
