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 frantic arcade shooter where you dash through procedurally generated dungeons, blasting spells with tight, old-school controls, constantly dying and restarting.

What players say

Players describe Ziggurat as a basic fps roguelike from 2014 that feels repetitive and lacks build variety. Combat and movement are smooth, but runs are short and runs can feel samey. Multiple players suggest skipping this for Ziggurat 2.
