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 cute but punishing tactical dungeon crawler where you lead a lovable squad through procedurally generated adventures with turn-based grid movement and permadeath.

What players say

Players enjoy the coin-based dungeon crawling and short runs, though they are split on polish. Some say it feels like a rough early-access concept needing a tutorial, while others praise the active developer and frequent updates.
