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

Playing feels like a lighthearted tabletop campaign narrated by a charismatic Dungeon Master, where dice rolls decide the outcome of you and your friends' funny fantasy escapades.

What players say

Players describe this as a D&D-lite board game best enjoyed with a group, where you move miniatures and roll dice to advance a light story. It runs about 12 hours for all campaigns and offers little replay value. Some find it too simple and get bored quickly, while others love the silly moments with friends. A few reviewers note bugs and a limited inventory system.
