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 strategic dungeon crawler with retro-inspired visuals, balancing emotional stakes against tactical monster-summoning combat.

What players say

Players praise the evolution from the 2D original to 3D, with a gambit-like AI system for summons and a heartfelt lesbian love story. Performance issues and a lack of controller rebinding are common complaints, while some find the dungeons bland and creature leveling slow.
