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 fast, cute but darkly humorous mix of dungeon crawling and cult management where you build a following through rituals and resource gathering.

What players say

Players praise the art style and premise, calling the game cute yet creepy. Opinions split on gameplay: many enjoy the blend of base management and roguelike combat, while others find the dungeons shallow and the roguelike elements lacking. Some players note it gets tedious around the midway point.
