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 turn-based dungeon crawler where you carefully scavenge, craft, and fight through procedurally generated sci-fi levels, balancing resource management against permadeath's tension.

What players say
Players praise the sheer depth and variety, but warn the game is brutal and luck-dependent. Runs often end due to critical resource shortages like ammo or food, and many feel the later expansions made loot bloat and crafting worse. A full run can take ten to thirty hours, and with only one save, any mistake resets all progress.
