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, resource-scarce struggle where every decision matters as you fight through a dangerous dungeon, slowly shaping your build to defy a tragic fate.

What players say

Players call it a Chinese folk-horror roguelike with auto attacks, so runs lean on positioning. It has no between-run progression, and unlocking more items dilutes the drop pool, which players say makes later runs harder. Damage feels low and bosses hit hard, so lifesteal and heal items decide runs. Many want a way to disable unwanted relics, and several say it is short.
