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 deliberate, secret-filled dungeon crawl with grid-based movement and action RPG combat, mixing first-person exploration with top-down hacking and slashing.

What players say

Players are split on this unusual mix of first-person exploration and top-down combat. The concept earns praise but execution falters with frequent performance drops, crashes, and unbalanced classes. The developer stays responsive with updates, and the game has a dedicated following despite its rough edges.
