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, fast-paced dungeon crawl where every greedy step risks deadly traps and mounting corruption.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying parry-based combat and the corruption system that adds risk, but many find the runs grow repetitive after 10 hours. The final boss draws frustration for feeling luck-dependent. Long-time players report development stopped with no new content added.
