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, retro dungeon crawl with tough turn-based combat and classic grid-based exploration through richly detailed 3D environments.

What players say

Players are split on this budget Legend of Grimrock homage. Many praise its lighthearted style and addictive secret-hunting, but frequent crashes and clunky, unbalanced combat are dealbreakers for others. The health regen is painfully slow and the focus on backstabbing mechanics divides the community.
