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, distilled roguelike session that challenges you to make tough choices in just a few minutes, with cute pixel art and an addictive loop of short runs.

What players say

Players say it is a fast, simple roguelike where you pick one of three cards each round, but many find the balance frustrating: success often depends on resetting until favorable cards appear. Opinions are split on whether the minimal design is clever or shallow, and while the short runs are praised, the lack of meaningful choices and reliance on luck turn off strategy-focused players.
