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.

A slow, contemplative experience blending simple puzzle-like strategy with a nostalgic dive into a storied fantasy world.

What players say

Players describe it as a faithful return to classic magic tower gameplay focused on resource management of keys and health. The difficulty is notable and the playthrough is short, around 2 hours. Its cheap price is praised, and there is a new story set before the original 50-floor tower.
