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 playful and creative sandbox where you casually paint landscapes and decorate dungeons, building worlds alone or with friends in a relaxed, imaginative flow.

What players say

Players praise the map builder for turning 2D maps into 3D and find it intuitive for tabletop RPGs, especially D&D, though some note crashes and limited genre options. Support for Tilt Five AR is a highlight, while others want offline play and export to image files.
