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

Gathering around a virtual tabletop for tense, tactical turn-based co-op dungeon crawling with a dark fantasy atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe Demeo as a simpler, more accessible alternative to Gloomhaven, with no leveling or progression. The rogue-like mode is the only option, and the UI feels bulky and imprecise. The inability to pause or take a turn off frustrates those with interruptions.
