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 slow, tactical dungeon crawl where positioning and cover matter as much as spells in gritty, underground battles.

What players say

Players say this is a competent but simple turn-based tactical RPG that feels like a mobile port. You build a party of six from 30 classes and cycle through combat and loot. Some find it too easy on normal, others praise the variety and replay value for the low price, though the story is thin and the presentation feels dated.
