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

Systematically navigating procedurally generated dungeons with careful deck-building and turn-based decisions.

What players say

Players like the clear, simple rules and the free price with no microtransactions, but opinions split on depth: some find it addictively challenging and puzzle-like, while others call it monotonous. One reviewer warns that an auto-camera movement can misclick and cause unfair gameovers.
