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

You quietly clean and restock a dungeon while sneaking past heroes and hungry monsters, balancing mundane tasks with frantic stealth to avoid a deadly boss.

What players say

Players say it is a time-management game where you clean and restock a dungeon before dawn, juggling a noise meter and enemies. Some find it fun in short bursts, while others feel the rooms are repetitive and the balancing seems random.
