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 methodical, tactical dungeon dive where every step demands careful planning and each death resets progress.

What players say

Players praise this as a compact traditional roguelike with fast gameplay and a Wizardry-like feel. Some find it too simplistic, especially in class variety and strategic depth, while others say the difficulty curve and artifact power spikes make it addictive. A few report crash bugs and an inactive developer.
