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

You methodically place tiles to build your path through a dungeon, defeating monsters and collecting treasures with a deliberate, puzzle-like pace.

What players say

Players say the tile-placement puzzle is fun for a few hours but grows repetitive. The controls are confusing, with key bindings that don't match instructions, and the slow camera movement hurts the pace. Many note the game lacks a clear goal, and luck plays a big role early on. The music grates, but at its low price it delivers what players expect.
