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 chaotic, fast-paced dungeon romp with rewarding loot and constant action, meant for playing with friends.

What players say

Players split on the value: some call it a cheap, fun romp, others say it is simplistic and grindy. The single player is short with no endgame, the mage class dominates due to item-based stats, and the music is widely mocked. Multiplayer lobbies are empty.
