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 nostalgic, top-down pixel art adventure where you explore a text-heavy fantasy world, collect items, and fight creatures while searching for a mythical realm.

What players say
Players praise Wishlair as a faithful throwback to DOS-era games like ZZT and Caves of Thor, calling it simple but addictive. They note translation issues, glitches at the final challenge, and slow horizontal movement, but the surprising final battle and boss fights are highlights.
