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 text-based dungeon crawler where you carve your own path through a persistent medieval world, balancing exploration, alliance-building, and uncovering ancient secrets at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise it as a faithful revival of a classic BBS game with deep text-based RPG mechanics and an active developer. The single-player mode is safe, but multiplayer can be punishing if you log off, as other players can loot your character.
