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, text-driven adventure where dice rolls determine your fate through sewers and subterranean horrors.

What players say

A faithful digital gamebook with dice rolls and skill checks, but combat feels random and luck-driven. Players split on the writing and replay value: some enjoy the atmosphere and branching paths, others find the story unremarkable and the engine sluggish. Short, easy to complete, and often bought on sale.
