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, survival-focused 2D game where you die often, scavenge resources, and navigate a dark fantasy world with a mix of turn-based and real-time combat, punctuated by moments of absurd humor.

What players say

Players describe Deadly Step as a gloomy old school dungeon crawler with resource gathering and crafting. Its maze-like levels and traps divide players: some find them a fun challenge, others call the difficulty cruel and the interface too minimal. The game hides secret rooms and tells a tragic story through exploration.
