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 methodical, tactical dungeon crawl where careful positioning and timing define each turn-based encounter.

What players say

Players praise the game as a faithful tribute to old-school blobbers like Wizardry and Might and Magic, with smart turn-based combat and rewarding exploration. A common complaint is the steep early difficulty, where enemies can one-shot party members before you learn the mechanics. Most finish in 15–30 hours, though some find the grind unrewarding.
