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

Tetrogue feels like a tense puzzle roguelike where every block placement is a tactical decision, combining rhythmic stacking with strategic combat to create a satisfying loop of clearing lines and slaying monsters.

What players say

Players call it an addictive blend of Tetris and roguelikes like Slay the Spire, praising the clever gem system but noting some upgrades are far stronger than others. The sound design is widely panned, and a few early reviewers found it too easy to win on the first run.
