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, turn-based dungeon crawl where each procedurally generated descent feels tense and unpredictable, culminating in a climactic reversal as you fight your way back up.

What players say

Players describe DA_RL as a fun traditional roguelike with a Dungeons &amp, Dragons feel. They praise the developer for being active, responsive to feedback, and quick with updates. Some note the game works well with a gamepad and offers good value for its price, though one reviewer found the early floors repetitive.
