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 brisk, old-school dungeon crawl where you learn the basics in minutes but keep dying and retrying in short, procedural runs.

What players say

Players describe a stripped-back, isometric roguelike inspired by the Amiga original, with quick runs and turn-based fights where deciding when to retreat or use a potion matters. Many find it repetitive, noting no leveling, few enemy types and 15 floors that outlast the simple mechanics, and some report poor controller support.
