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 punishing tactical roguelike with dark pixel art and emergent dungeon crawling.

What players say

Players say That Role Playing is more of a tactical puzzle game than an RPG, with no character upgrades and unexplained mechanics. The game includes bizarre math puzzles using reverse polish notation, and players note the fixed resolution and slow map loading.
