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 strategic turn-based dungeon crawl where dice rolls and careful party management define each step through a hand-drawn fantasy castle.

What players say

Players widely call it a faithful HeroQuest board game adaptation, with short campaigns of about 8 hours and turn-based tactical dungeon crawling. They split on polish: some find it simple and forgiving, others report progression-compromising bugs and forced replaying for abilities.
