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 fast-paced dungeon crawler where each run feels unpredictable due to random level generation and ever-stronger enemies.

What players say

Players describe it as a simplistic tile-breaking roguelike where you reveal blocks to find enemies and stairs. Most reviewers find the gameplay repetitive, pointing to aimless grinding and minimal progression between floors. Some enjoy it as a short timekiller but note the lack of save, pause, or fullscreen options.
