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 dungeon crawl with tactical real-time combat and a nostalgic old-school feel.

What players say

Players praise the MMO-inspired tank/healer/DPS combat but note the dungeon has few puzzles and a weak story. The 20-level dungeon is combat-heavy and can feel repetitive. Many say it is closer to Eye of the Beholder than Legend of Grimrock.
