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 dungeon crawl where every procedurally-generated floor demands careful strategy and risk management.

What players say

This spin-off strips out the original's party, factions, and mission structure for a single-character roguelike run through one dungeon. Players are split: some praise the deep skill tree combinations and high replayability, while others find it repetitive, buggy, and lacking the first game's polish. The end-game boss fights draw particular criticism for being slow and frustrating.
