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 cautiously guide a slightly unhinged dwarf through procedurally generated mines, carefully planning each turn while knowing one mistake ends it all.

What players say

Players say Torgar's Quest is a stripped-down, true roguelike that is easy to learn and good for quick runs. However, its combat is widely criticized as tedious: basic enemies take 15 or more hits to kill and the auto-attack system means holding down a key for long stretches, with some reviewers calling the fighting 'bland' and 'stupid'.
