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 methodical, grid-based dungeon crawler where careful party composition and turn-based tactics are everything, and the dark fantasy world feels both nostalgic and unforgiving.

What players say

Players are split on Dark Quest 3. Fans of the series dislike the shift to a card-based format and find the UI unintuitive and buggy, with dice rolls that feel rigged. Supporters call it a fun, addictive dungeon crawler with a satisfying difficulty, though most agree it lacks replayability once finished.
