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 top-down pixel-art dungeon crawler that feels like a fast-paced, procedurally generated co-op hack-and-slash adventure.

What players say

Players praise the depth and huge amount of content for a low price, with mechanics like aging, lycanthropy, and city conquest. The old-school graphics and awkward controls divide opinion, and some find the interface unintuitive.
