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 tense and unforgiving first-person dungeon crawl where every death resets progress, demanding careful cooperation and resourcefulness from up to four players.

What players say

Players say the game is balanced around a full party of four and brutally punishing for solo players, with many dying to traps and instakill mechanics. A common complaint is that each run starts from scratch with no unlocks or progression, making progress feel hollow. Players are split on whether this pure roguelike design is rewarding or just frustrating.
