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 methodical dungeon crawl where careful turn-based combat and crafting lead to gradual base growth and permadeath risk.

What players say

Players praise the genuine roguelike gameplay and deep crafting and base-building systems, but a significant number note the game was abandoned in early access with an unfinished final area and endless enemy spawns. Reviews split on the visuals and music, calling them serviceable rather than impressive, and some mention the lack of Chinese localization.
