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

You replay the same final dungeon over and over, using the memory of dice rolls to carefully plan each move in a compact, story-driven tactical challenge.

What players say

Players praise the writing, pixel art, and the clever way the dice puzzle ties into a tabletop RPG story. The game is short but has multiple endings, though some find the looping dialogue gets repetitive.
