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 tense, methodical dungeon crawl through a steampunk tower, blending old-school grid-based movement with real-time tactical combat and environmental puzzles.

What players say

Players are split on this prequel: some praise its refined level design and enjoy the greater emphasis on difficult puzzles, while others find the puzzles overly obtuse and timed, missing the original's combat-driven pace. The story is delivered mostly through notes, and instant-death traps frustrate some.
