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

Exploring damp, dimly lit dungeons with only a torch creates a tense, methodical tactical experience where every step could bring a deadly surprise.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic grid-based dungeon crawling and turn-based combat, but many note the lack of saving, absence of story or tutorial, and a steep difficulty curve.
