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 and methodical card-battling adventure where every coin spent or saved carries life-or-death weight.

What players say

Players praise Coin Crypt for its unique coin-based resource system, where every action costs a coin and spent coins are gone for good. Many note it is an early pioneer of the roguelike deckbuilder genre, though its difficulty and lack of tutorials can be confusing for new players.
