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 frantic, turn-based board game of wits and panic where players race against a ticking clock to outsmart rivals and the dungeon itself.

What players say

Players describe it as a mix of board game and puzzle game, with the unique hook of flipping and rotating dungeon tiles. Some find the single-player content deep, others bounce off the slow camera and repetitive confirmation clicks. Sentiment is split: people who enjoy methodical turn-based tactics tend to like it, while those seeking a fluid experience do not.
