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

This game feels like a classic, strategic roguelike with a vast world to explore at a moderate pace.

What players say

Players agree the game has interesting mechanical ideas but feels unfinished and abandoned by the developer. Combat is almost entirely melee with no magic, and starting over forces you through the same NPC dialogue every time, which wears thin fast.
