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, rugged survival experience where you cautiously scavenge dark subterranean zones while facing constant threats from bandits and beasts.

What players say

A turn-based traditional roguelike in the developer Caiys's usual pixel style, compared by players to Crypt of the Necrodancer and Quasimorph. Runs well on Steam Deck and controller, priced low, and several say the screen gets hard to read when crowded. Runs are beatable once you learn the basics, and fans of Boneraiser Minions and Voids Vigil recognize the formula.
