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 deliberate, strategic dungeon crawl through procedurally generated levels that feels like a faithful homage to early roguelikes.

What players say

Players describe a nostalgic dungeon crawler that starts brutally hard but rewards learning its hidden systems. The vault lets you carry equipment between runs, and classes unlock through specific actions like using a bow. Secrets buried in walls reward players who dig.
